So I live with my parents at 30 years old. I have a learning disability but I am able to lead a relatively normal life. I work part time and I am taking several prerequisites to be able to get my associates. Ultimately I want to become a physician. I have maintained a GPA of 3.5-3.6 in my freshman year of college, i go to community college online as I struggle to drive. I used the Covid money to pay for classes because I was never able to afford school before. I do have a genetic disorder that has caused my learning disability but as I said above I lead a relatively normal life( I say relative because I still live with my parents). Anyway I looked at what qualifies as a disabled dependent on the Irs website and Mass Gov website.
Both of these say "He or she has to be permanently and totally disabled" He or she cannot engage in any substantial activity because of a physical or mental condition"
"A doctor determines the condition has lasted a year or can be expected to last continuously for at leat a year or can lead to death".
I made $11000 this past year paid $125 a month for rent and $45 a month for my cell phone line. I also paid $1690 per semester for classes all on my own without any help financially from my parents.
They have not done taxes on me this year but would they be committing tax fraud if they count me as a dependent? I didnt work much in my early adult years so I never made enough to file a claim
