The Carters can claim three dependents: their daughter Pamela, because she is a full-time student under the age of 24 and they provide more than half of her support; Belinda, Evan's grandmother, since they provide all of her support; and Peggy, a friend of the family who lives with them and presumably, they provide more than half of her support as well.
