LSmith33 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I have a client whose parent came from Romania to live with them for part of the year to help with their new baby. Can they claim the parent as a dependent? Thanks, ~Laura Smith, EA Quote
Bart Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I have a client whose parent came from Romania to live with them for part of the year to help with their new baby. Can they claim the parent as a dependent? Thanks, ~Laura Smith, EA I would think that they could if they satisfy all the tests to take a dependency exemption for the parent. Quote
jainen Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 >>live with them for part of the year<< How big a part? She must be a U.S. resident to be claimed as a dependent. Quote
