Senior citizen parent can be included as dependent in ITR?

[jynmarie]

---

Good day.

I have a question about taxation particularly Income Tax Return.

I have a 68 year-old mother living with me. Of course, she has no income nor pension.

Can she be be included as my dependent to benefit additional tax exemption?

My status is married with 3 dependents.

Moreover, can she also be included as beneficiary in my SSS & Philhealth?

Thanks in advance...

she will not be included as you have your own immediate family. ang madependent nimo since you are married na kay ang imo spouse (if unemployed) and your kids (max of 4). with your status now, if ikaw ang mag claim ng exemptions would be ME3.
