Your grandmother may qualify as your dependent if:

  1.  She isn’t a dependent on someone else’s tax return.
  2. She isn’t filing a tax return with a spouse (married filing jointly).
  3. She  is a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
  4. You provided more than half of her support .
  5. She earned less than $4,200 in gross taxable income. (Social Security income generally doesn’t count here.
