If I am receiving Social Security Disability benefits and have no taxable income, can I have my daughter (who lives with me) claim the interest and taxes paid on my mortgage?

• She is NOT entitled to HH as Mom is hardly a dependent child! And Mom is providing the home, not the daughter!

• Many younger ppl calim HH legaly, an adult child can claim HH if the parent is disabled, reagrdless of who's name the house is in. If she is the primary income of the household she's get an EIC.
  LJ can ask any pro if I'm doubted

• I do stand corrected about daughter claiming mom as a dependent!
  
  Daughter MAY be able to claim Mom as a dependent IF mom does NOT have gross income exceeding $3800ish and IF daughter is providing more than 1/2 of Mom's support! Her SS Disability is NOT gross income in terms of that $3800ish, but the SS disability DOES count towards Mom's ability to support herself. So, if Mom gets $1000/month for disability, daughter would have to be contributing $1001/monthly towards mom's support in order to claim mom as a dependent! 2 b continued

• Daughter MAY be able to claim HH IF DAUGHTER is providing the home. It sounds like MOM is providing the home (since mom wants daughter to be able to claim the interest/taxes) unless daughter is paying more than 50% of the home expenses!
  
  Daughter MAY get EIC if her income is within the EIC levels which would change if mom is a dependent or not.
