There are a set of rules in the tax instructions for determining whether or not someone qualifies as your dependent. They have to do mainly with whether they lived with you or not, and whether you contributed more than 50% of their support or not, and whether they had income of their own (and how much). If they qualify, then yes you can claim them.

No. However, the more dependents you claim the less FIT tax is deducted. Therefore, your desposable income would be more.
