How many dependents can I claim?
Although there are limits to specific dependent credits, there’s no maximum number of dependent exemptions you can claim.
If a person meets the requirements for a qualifying child or relative, you can claim him or her as a dependent. You can do this as a single filer and regardless of your filing status.
