Age is a factor in the qualifying child test, but not the qualifying relative test. As long as the following dependency exemption tests are met, you may claim him or her: # Qualifying child or qualifying relative test; # Dependent taxpayer test; # Citizenship or resident test; and # Joint return test. To be your dependent, a person must be either your qualifying child or your qualifying relative. Generally, a person is your qualifying relative if that person: * Lives with or is related to you, * Does not have $3,300 or more of gross (total) income, * Is supported (generally more than 50%) by you, and * Is neither your qualifying child nor the qualifying child of anyone else. Generally, you may claim a dependency exemption for a qualifying child or a qualifying relative. Refer to Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information, for the definitions of a qualifying child and a qualifying relative. You may not claim a dependency exemption for an individual, however, if you are a dependent of another taxpayer. To claim a dependency exemption for a qualifying child or a qualifying relative, the citizen, national, or resident test and joint return test must be met. To meet the citizen, national or resident test, an individual must be a citizen or national of the United States, a resident of the United States, or a resident of Canada or Mexico. To find out who is a resident of the United States, refer to Topic 851 or Publication 519. An exception may apply for an adopted child who is not a citizen, national or resident of the United States. See Publication 501.

If they aren't a qualified child or a qualified relative, as defined, you can't claim them.
If you have paid for more than half of their support and they do not claim themselves on their taxes, I believe you can claim them as long as you have documentation to prove it.
No, sorry. You can only claim someone related to you as a dependent.
You should report having a dependant in the home.
