You may claim a dependency exemption for each qualifying child or qualifying relative. If you are the dependent of another taxpayer, you cannot claim any other person as a dependent.
The qualifying child or relative must be a citizen, resident alien or national of the United States, or a resident of Canada or Mexico. An exception may apply for an adopted child that is not a citizen, national or resident alien.
The qualifying child or relative must not file a joint tax return, unless all the following are true:
The Dependent must file taxes if all of his or her income is earned income and is above certain amounts. And some dependents may have to file a return even if their income is below the amount that would normally require them to file.
