How much more do I get for claiming my mother as a dependent, she is 50 years old and does not have a income?

[Vanessa A · Accepted solution]

The Other Dependent Credit is $500. 

If your filing status is single without claiming her, you may be able to claim Head of Household if you claim her.  This would increase your Standard Deduction from $12,950 to $19,400 which would decrease your taxable income by $6,450.

it would appear that you mother would be your dependent so you can claim her, what's more since she's your parent if you paid over 50% of the parents household expenses (their separate home) or resided with you for more than 6 months in a calendar year and you paid at least 50% of the cost of keeping up yjis household you can file as head of household.
