If you are caring for your mother or father, you may be able to claim your parent as a dependent on your income taxes. This would allow you to get an exemption ($3,950 for tax year 2014) for him or her. There are five tests to determine whether you can claim a parent as a dependent: 1  The person you are claiming as a dependent must be related to you. 2  This shouldn't be a problem if you are claiming a parent (in-laws and stepparents are also allowed).
ONLY the custodial parent can claim: 1  head of household filing status due to that child. 2  earned income credit due to that child. 3  the credit for child and dependent care expenses. 4  the exclusion for dependent care benefits (i.e. from the W-2 form). If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but no parent does so claim the child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for the year, but only if that person s AGI is higher than the highest AGI of any of the child s parents who can claim the child.
