Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hutters can claim Carla and Ellie as dependents because they provide more than 50% of their support and they meet the relationship and residency tests. They cannot claim Aaron because he is not a U.S. citizen or resident. Therefore, the Hutters can claim two dependents: Carla and Ellie.
