    Claiming Parents as Dependents for 2008 Tax file
    My Spouse and I would stay in US for 200 days in 2008.

    My parents are on a tourist Visa here and would stay for 100 days.

    Can I claim them as dependents in my 2008 Tax file?

    Thanks in advance

    You yourself are nonresident. All of you are nonresidents so you can not claim any of them as dependent.

    A dependent can be your qualifying child or qualifying relative. Read: Your U.S. Tax Return: Requirements for claiming a dependent
