My in-laws are doing their taxes and want to know if they can claim their son. He is 31 and made absolutely no money last year and they provided complete support for him.

For qualifying relatives, here are the tests:
1--provide more than 50% support
2--son's income is less than $3300 in 2006
3--member of the household all year long
4--son doesn't file a joint return with a wife
5--son is a citizen or resident of the US
If all of these are true, he can be claimed.
(Does he know that 31 is old enough to work?)

If he is not on another person's return, and satisfies citizenship requirements, they can claim him as a dependent. He does not have to have lived with them.

You say they supported him completely, and he had no income. As long as he isn't filing a joint return with a spouse, then yes they can.

Go to irs.gov to see if he can be a qualifed dependent. Also type in qualified dependent in Yahoo search, under certain conditions he can be.
