If my mom lives with me and I pay all living expenses, can I claim her as a dependent on my taxes?

EXPERT Carol Bradley Bursack, CDSGF Mar 2010
Very likely you can. You should use a CPA or other financial expert, however, to make sure you do it right.

As long as you provide at least 50% of the support, you can claim your parent. You can go to your local H&R Block and talk with an experienced preparer.
