I just realized that I could add my father-in-law as a dependent. He ahs been living with us for 11 1/2 months in 2018 and we have been paying for his living expenses.

technically you don't qualify. the rule for qualifying relative is that they lived in taxpayers household for the ENTIRE year except for temporary absences. such as hospitalization. 11-1/2 is NOT an entire year so hopefully that 1/2 month was a temporary absence.
The key to entering him is to call him "Parent" and not "Other" on the relationship drop down menu.
