    We need a bit more information to be able to answer your question:

    Are you filing as Married Filing Jointly?
    Did you provide more than 50% of your mother-in-law's support?
    Is her gross income less than $3,400?
    Is she a US citizen or resident alien, or resident of either Mexico or Canada?

    See Pub 501 for all the rules regarding whom you can claim as a dependent:
