Filing my grandma as a dependent

[Tapout1151]

Hi, I’ve lived with my grandma for over a year and paid for half the expenses and she gets $1800 Social Security and $400 a month from pension so that’s $26k a year would she qualify to be my dependent if nobody else claims her?

No, your grandma makes too much money and needs to file her own tax return.

See Who can I claim as my dependent? and Do I need to file a federal return this year? for more information.
