I don't think so.

ETA: Bostonian, I wouldn't be so quick to judge other responses. The reference you provided is correct, BUT you have referenced the incorrect column. Assuming the tests below are met, the sister would be a "qualifying child" (left hand column of the page you cited). The right hand column and the $3,300 limit is only for other relatives.

To be a taxpayer’s "qualifying child" for the purposes of dependent exemptions, tax credits, etc. the person must satisfy four tests:
SOURCE: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=133298,00.html :

1. Relationship — the taxpayer’s child or stepchild (whether by blood or adoption), foster child, sibling or stepsibling, or a descendant of one of these.

2. Residence — same residence as the taxpayer for more than half the tax year.

3. Age — must be under the age of 19 at the end of the tax year, or under the age of 24 if a full-time student for at least five months of the year, or be permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year.

4. Support — did not provide more than one-half of his/her own support for the year.

It sounds like she meets #1-3.

HOWEVER...based upon the information you provided, #4 is not so clear. With income of $9,000, she MAY have provided for more than half her own support...depending upon the cost of living where you live, her expenses, etc. IF you do claim her as a dependent, she will still have to file a return and cannot claim herself.

Good luck!

If she lived with you more than half the year, nobody else is entitled to claim her, and she didn't provide more than half of her own support, then you probably can. So it comes down to how much her total support is for the year, and how much of it she provided from her own income.

No, she has far too much income to be claimed as a dependent.

Note to Tweet: What planet are you on?? You obviously have NO knowledge of US tax law. Please keep your idiotic comments to yourself!

Note to everyone else: If the sister has more than $3,300 in gross income, she CANNOT be claimed as a dependent. PERIOD! The amount of support provided does NOT matter!


Beautiful IS HAVING a BOY!
sure just make sure u include her w9


Joni J
Yes, you can to let her know that at her age she must be responsible. talk to her in a way that she will not be offended. just ask if she could help you in some financial aspect


wasimonweb
If she is living in YOUR home, you can claim for house rent, and if you have combine expenses, u can claim 50% of your expenses in a month and 50% of house rent.

yes but the income has to be stated on your taxes. at your rate, that would not be wise. best to let her get her own substantial refund


melanie m
If she lived with you for six months out of a year and nobody else claims her then yes.

Only if you can prove you paid more than 50% of her support, she signs a notarized statement agreeing to that fact, and you would have to add her income with yours when you file
