You are not required to claim dependents on your taxes, but doing so may help you qualify for certain tax benefits.
Your income is not relevant to how many dependents you can claim...having a right to claim those you do is all....can't claim any more than that...and considering the information you provide on each is easily computer matched...and each is worth maybe $750 or so...not something to get too tricky with.

No
