Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the IRS, a dependent does not have to be a U.S. citizen or resident. As long as the dependent meets certain criteria, such as not filing their own tax return and being financially supported by the taxpayer, they can be claimed as a dependent. Therefore, Carolyn may claim her niece as a dependent even though she is a Canadian citizen residing in Quebec.
