If both parents aren’t working can I claim them on my taxes ?

Yes, you may be able to if you provide over 50% of their support, they don't claim themselves and they didn't have more than $4,150 in gross income.

• Whether it's a parent, friend, or relative you support, being able to claim someone as a dependent can save you money. If you're not sure you can claim your parent or another person as a dependent, TurboTax will help you figure that out.

• Generally, you can claim your parent if they didn't have more than $4,150 in gross income (excluding nontaxable Social Security) and you provided more than half of their support. Your parent doesn't have to live with you. There are a few other specifics we'll ask you about as we go along.
