We are filing - married filing jointly - this year (2007). My father in Law joined us on Dec 29th 2007 and he is a Permanent Resident(got his PR after landing in US on Dec 29th). Can we by any chance claim him as a dependent this year? Does he fail to meet the residency requirement? Other details -he has no income, we supported him thorughout the year even when he was in India,. a reply would be appreicated.
IRS website is confusing... on this... I wonder for whom they write all these clauses... I am pretty sure that a layman will never be able to interpret it(probably that is what they want)
