Depends on for what use your speaking of. The amount used on your W-4 may well be different than the amount used on your 1040 filing. 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. You can claim an exemption for a qualifying child or qualifying relative only if these three tests are met. # Dependent taxpayer test. # Joint return test. # Citizen or resident test. These three tests are explained in the information in the link.

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.

Claiming dependents on your taxes can reduce the amount of taxable income you have, which may lower the amount of taxes you owe. However, whether or not you owe taxes depends on various factors such as your income, deductions, and credits. Claiming dependents alone does not determine if you will owe taxes.
