In this tax tutorial, you will learn about dependents. A dependent is a person other than the taxpayer or spouse who entitles the taxpayer to claim a dependency exemption. Each dependency exemption decreases income subject to tax by the exemption amount. For 2014, the exemption amount is $3,950.
The definition of a dependent for tax purposes includes both qualifying children and qualifying relatives. Qualifying children must meet four criteria: 1  They must be your child or stepchild, or a brother, sister, stepsibling or foster child. 2  Descendants of these people also qualify, like your niece. 3  They must have lived in your residence with you for at least half of the tax year.
