Can I claim my niece's children if she did not work any this year and will not be filing a return?

    Do the children live with you?   Did you pay for over half of their support?

     

    IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:

    Yes they live with me and with her not working I pay over half their support.  Will I have to have proof of that?
