Can I Claim F1 Student as dependant on my tax return? Hello TaxGuru,
My brother (24Y old, from India) is on F1 visa for his MS degree, came to USA in April 2015, and staying with me since then. I am paying for all his expenses, food, travel, accommodation, tuition fees etc, as I am the sponsor for his education here. He is working on-campus since Nov 2015 and had $712 income (w2) in 2015. He also has SSN. Can I claim him on my 2015 tax return as dependent (as qualified relative) and get additional exemption? If this is not possible, what forms he need to file for his tax return? |
