If he is disabled then you would select that he is disabled.  If he is on permanent disability, he would be classified as disabled.

Please provide some details.   What exactly do you mean by "taking care of my nephew?"  Is your nephew a child or an adult?   Are you paying someone to take care of him so that you can work?

You can claim him as a dependent if he meets the following requirements:

 

  • He is related to you.
  • No one else is claiming his as a dependent
  • He is a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
  • He is not filing a joint return with their spouse.
  • He is  under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
    • There's no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
  • He lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
  • He didn't provide more than half of his own support for the year.

You will need to mark that he is disabled as you enter your information.
