Dependents - You must meet five tests to claim a dependent. The enclosed Form 886-H-DEP, Supporting Documents for Dependency Exemptions, explains the tests. It also explains the information you can send to us to show you've met the tests.

Filing Status - If you claimed a Head of Household filing satus on your tax return, you must meet three qualifying tests.
