Jose Angel R
Can I claim my mother as a dependent? She lives in Mexico, I support her financially 100%?
She does not have a SSN, she lives in a house rent free owned by me. I do have records of me wiring money to Mexico every month.
Thanks!

nite_Angelica, it's sad that closed minded peole exist in America, I live in the South and I've met really nice people, so I can generalize for all of the US. BTW, I am here on a legal special engineering Visa. I was hired because I was technically the most apt candidate for the position, I made more than 100k last year.

See IRS publications 501 and 519.

You cannot claim a person as a dependent unless that person is a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident alien, U.S. national, or a
resident of Canada or Mexico, for some part of the year.

An ITIN, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, is a tax processing number only available for certain nonresident and resident aliens, their spouses, and dependents who cannot get a Social Security Number (SSN). It is a 9-digit number, beginning with the number "9", formatted like an SSN (NNN-NN-NNNN).

To obtain an ITIN, you must complete IRS Form W-7, IRS Application for Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (PDF) . The Form W-7 requires documentation substantiating foreign/alien status and true identity for each individual.

Great... more money going out to Mexico. You people make me sick. Although it's great you are taking care of your mom... I'm sick of you guys anyway though.

I dunno - talk to a tax person, you can probably claim a portion of it somehow even if it isn't claiming her as a dependent. Welcome to our great country.

Al - give me a freakin' break.. They DO NOT take jobs americans wouldn't do. I'm from the South - have you ever been there? PLENTY of Americans will do those jobs.

If our laws were enforced here, and scummy people stopped hiring illegals then Americans would be doing those jobs. Not to mention that illegals ARE getting paid and NOT paying any taxes like the rest of us have to do.

I'm sure there are many nice illegals - I've met a couple myself but that isn't all of them and they all present the same problems. Texans pay 4.7 BILLION a year due to illegals... so spare me your rant.

No, she is not a U.S. citizen, so you cannot claim her.

Sorry, I don't believe you can claim her due to the social security issue.

You people disgust me.
Why are you so harsh?!?
All he wants is a simple answer to his question.
Who the hell cares what he does with his money? He earns it so he can send it to his mom. At least he helps his mom. Many of you wouldn't.
I worked at a Police Department and came in touch with many Mexican Migrants.
Let me tell you these people work so hard and don't even get paid sh%t.
They take the jobs most of us wouldn't dream of working. All you do is complain.
Take a look at what you have and think about a person who has nothing making below the minium wage to help their family here and in Mexico.

Aren't you happy that you opened a bag of worms for a bunch of over opinionated people who can't see past the end of their noses?

No, hon, you can't claim her. But you are being a good son by taking care of her.

She would have to have either a ss# or an ITIN for you to claim her as a dependent.

The answer would be no! She has to have a valid SSN and she has to have had physically lived with you for more than half of the year.

If she is a resident of Mexico you will need a ITIN. If she is a U.S. Citizen she will need a SSN
She cannot have a gross income of more than 3.400
You have to have provided over half of her entire support.
You cannot be a dependent or if married filing jointly your spouse cannot be a dependent.
Generally, if you are a nonresident alien (other than a resident of Canada or Mexico, or certain residents of India or Korea), you can qualify for only one personal exemption for yourself. You cannot claim exemptions for a spouse or dependents.


A parent is one of the people who do not have to live with you to be your qualifying relative

Yes you can claim her if you have all your reciepts showing that you sent her money every month to pay half her living expenses. If she doesn't have a Itin number though you will have a $50.fine for this I know my ex used to claim both his mom and dad every year because we was supporting them. And all you idiots out there saying stuppid stuff think about it he's not an illigal cause if he was he would not be filling income tax in the first place there are alot of legal imigrants here also that have not forgotten thier families back home or where they came from just because they have thier papers now so get real if he wants to take care of his parents he's just giving back what they gave him in life Love and understanding! Something alot of us here in the USA don't even understand we put our loved ones in nursing homes or let them live on the street knowing that there is always something we can do about it and yet still we don't so shut up!

maria jose
yes u can ive done it. amen to grand#3 If anyone makes me sick it's these ignorant people posting rude comments. God bless who ever takes care of their parents. What do most americans do once they're parents cant take care of themselves? send them to a nursing home to die...... i've been a hospice nurse for to long and seen it to often.
