A dependant is someone who receives most of their support through another adult individual. Usually all minor children fall into this category. The qualifications to claim a person as a dependant vary according to circumstances but generally only one person can claim the minor as a dependant and that dependant can't be claimed if that person themselves claims to be independant. if you are doing taxes adn aren't sure of these terms, I suggest you consult an accountant.
