A family friend who is supported by and lives with the taxpayer could be considered a qualifying relative if they meet the other IRS requirements for this classification, such as not being a qualifying child of another taxpayer and meeting income and support tests. They cannot be a qualifying child because the IRS requires a qualifying child to have a specific relationship to the taxpayer, such as being a son, daughter, or foster child, which does not include family friends.
