My father in law who lived with us for 15 years passed on 1/3/22. We have claimed him since he only received SS, no other income. Can we claim on our taxes this year?

Yes---if your FIL was alive in 2022--even for only a few days--you can claim him as a dependent for 2022.

READ the screens carefully ... in the dependent section you will enter the DOD for him and indicate that he lived with you ALL year since he passed in 2022.
