You can only claim a runaway as a tax dependent if they meet the IRS rules for qualifying relatives, which includes providing over half of the individual's support for the year and the individual having lived with you for the entire year. If these conditions are met, you may be able to claim them as a dependent. It is recommended to consult with a tax professional for specific guidance.
