Great news!
Many taxpayers may qualify to claim certain relatives or dependents under IRS guidelines.
The IRS now allows taxpayers to claim Other Dependents.
Other dependents may include individuals you financially support for more than half of the tax year, even if they are not directly related to you. Parents and grandparents may qualify as dependents under certain IRS requirements.
These tax benefits may help individuals who financially support dependents or family members.
