Can I claim my mother on my taxes?
In looking at the requirements she meets all but the income. Her pension states on the tax form that it paid out $4200 but she did not get $4200 in hand. She gets $200 a month so for a year she would have gotten $2400. The rest was for her medical care plan, Kiaser. The form however does not show that. I have asked her to see if she can get something that shows the actual break down of that income paid out by her pension.
She has been living with my husband and I for over a year. We provide everything except her medical care as she has that.
Can we still claim her? Also can she or does she have to file taxes on that pension she received? Does she file taxes on the SS she receives?
