I would like to get a further clarification on dependent qualification for my parents.

I have been supporting my parents last four years (almost $2,000 per month) due to their inability of finding jobs. Both my father and mother are registered in the U.S. military dependency program. Most of my income goes to them and I've been trying to claim them on tax return every year and I got denied. They are living in Korea due to their language barriers. Please explain if they can be qualify for dependent on this tax return. Thank you.

After I reviewed, they are qualifying for Armed Forces dependency allotments (support test). I have bank states that show transactions. How can I upload it in the TurboTax?
