what qualifies as a dependant

[4bidN2father]

What is the name of your state?WA
Can you claim another adult that lives with you over 18 as a dependant on your taxes?

Yes, provided they meet the five dependency tests. I believe they are listed in the instruction booklet for form 1040, available at your local post office or at www.irs.gov.

so , if the person only lived with you for 7 months instead of the whole yr but meets every other requirement, you can not?
