Can I claim my parents as dependents? They have no income, and I pay their rent, bills, etc. What documentation do I need?

Hello Niccolle,
It sounds like you should be able to claim your parents as dependents. You will need to be able to document (using bills, statements, cancelled checks and credit card receipts) that you are paying their living expenses and that they have no income.
Good luck!
