Can I claim my mother who lives in a nursing home as a dependent?

She receives approx. $16,000 from social security. I pay her monthly bill of approximately $8500 per month. She makes less than $4150 per year if I exclude Social Security. I am assuming yes. Do I add her SSA-1099 to ours?

It sounds like you can claim your mother, but I'll insert the TurboTax FAQ "Can I claim my parent as a dependent?" below so that you can read for yourself.

And, no, don't include your mother's SSA-1099 to your own return.
