What is the name of your state? CA

Hi

If my parents visit me from another country,stay with me for 6 months and then leaves... Can I claim them as dependents for that year? Is there a minimum period they are required to stay with me to earn dependent status?
Thanks

They are from India/Singapore. Citizens of India
The only way that you can include them as dependents is if you can obtain and itin (individual taxpayer ID number) for them. Unfortunately, since they are residents of Singapore they would not qualify to obtain the number. Only dependents that reside in Mexico or Canada qualify.
