You are allowed one exemption for each person you can claim as a dependent. You can claim an exemption for a dependent even if your dependent files a return. The term "dependent" means: * A qualifying child, or * A qualifying relative. The terms "qualifying child" and "qualifying relative" are defined by following the link provided.
