Dependents & Exemptions

Claim your parent - lives with you as a dependent and receiving social security

Answer:

Probably yes. Gross income for the dependent test does not include non-taxable social security, tax exempt interest or gifts.
For tax year 2013, if his gross income is less than $3,900, then he satisfies the gross income test criteria for claiming him as dependent.
Speak to your local CPA to verify if your father meets the other 4 dependency tests so you can claim him as a dependent.
