LSmith33 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have a client whose parent came from Romania to live with them for part of the year to help with their new baby. Can they claim the parent as a dependent? Thanks, ~Laura Smith, EA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
