You can claim a dependent if the person is a qualifying child or a qualifying relative. When claiming children, he or she must be your child, stepchild, adopted child, foster child, brother, sister, grandchild, niece or nephew. The dependent should be living with you for more than 6 months of the year and should also be under the age of 19 at the end of the year, or under age 24 and a full-time student for at least five months of the year, or any age and totally, permanently disabled.
