    Parent as dependent

    All - 

    I have a question about claiming 94 year old parent as dependent. The client passes the support test with the parent. 

    EIC is N

    Code is O (Other Dependent)

    Not Qualified credit other Dependent is X

    Not Qualifies for child tax credit or Non US is X

    I don't see the dependent deduction coming through for the parent.

    Please advise ??

    Thank you in advance.

    Hasn't been a dependent deduction for a few years...just the $500 other dependent credit.

    Just to clarify --

    This client should be able to take the $500 Credit if all dependent tests are met?

     

    Thank you,
