Sure sounds good. Morethan likely but you probably need that from a tax pro.

Maybe. If you provide over half of her support, and her gross income isn't over $3300 (the number for 2006 - goes up a little for 2007) then you can very possibly claim her. If she has income from pension and/or investments totalling over that amount, then no you can't. Her social security doesn't count toward "gross income", but if she spends it on her own support, it does have to be taken into account when you are calculating whether or not you are providing over half of her total support.

If you provide more than 50% of her total support for the year AND she has less than $3,400 in gross income (2007 rate, it was $3,300 for 2006) then you can claim her as a dependent. She does NOT have to live with you, by the way.

if you support her in all ways more than 50% of the time, you can.
