Do I my Mom 79 and Aunt 82 who live with me count under the Caring for Caregivers Tax Credit?

It depends, but based on the information you provided they may. You have answered that they met 3 of the tests( age, relationship, and living arrangements), but they also must require assistance with at least 2 activities of daily living. 

 

Here is the full list, from Oklahoma Form 592:

1. "Is 62 years of age or older, 

2. Requires assistance with at least two activities of daily living (ADL) as certified by a licensed health care provider, 

3. Qualifies as a dependent, spouse, parent, or other relation by blood or marriage to the family caregiver, and 

4. Lives in a private residential home and not in an assisted living center, nursing facility, or residential care home."
