Can you claim your mother on my income tax?

No. My mother would not let me let you claim her on your income tax return. Even if I could claim my mother on my return I would not let you claim her on your return. My mother will be claiming herself on her own return. Nice try though. If you are interested in possibly claiming your own mother on your own return, I would recommend reading the Form 1040 instructions for line 6c, step 4. In a nutshell, if your mother lived with you all year, had minimal income, and you provided over half her support, you may be eligible to claim your mother on your return.
