[Sakone001]

Can my gf claim me on her taxes. I'm 31 and on ssdi. I made almost 10k this year. She has bought me clothes, food and helped with rent, electric and other things as well. I ask as my grandmother was able to claim my mom who makes more then me, but my grandmother owns a house and my mother pays rent, so I dont know

If she passes these four “tests” then she may be eligible to be claimed as a dependent.

• Is not a “qualifying child” of a taxpayer. The IRS has specific qualifying child rules based on relationship, age, residency, and joint return
• Earned less than $4,150 in taxable income (amount of the personal exemption) in 2018
• Did not provide their own support. You must provide more than half of the total support for the year
• Lived with you all year as a member of your household (keep in mind: dependent relatives do not have to live with you)
