    Generally, if the person lives with you and relies on you for financial and physical support, you may be able to claim them as a dependant. An eligible dependant varies based on the credit or deduction you want to claim. Many different people can qualify as dependants, and someone who qualifies as a dependant for the purposes of one credit may not qualify for another dependant credit.
