I think you can only claim someone if they are under the age of 18 or diabled. You can always call somewhere like H&R Block and ask over the phone before you go in to file your taxes

If her gross income for 2006 was less than $3300, you provided more than half of her total support for the year, and she doesn't file a joint return, then you can.

I'm pretty positive you can. Not an expert though. I'll look for you a link with IRS definitions of dependant...

Yes. If you are supporting her then you sure can.
