Final answer:
Non-U.S. citizens can be claimed as a dependent for tax purposes if they meet certain criteria.
Step-by-step explanation:
Only U.S. citizens are not the only ones who can be claimed as a dependent for tax purposes. Non-U.S. citizens can also be claimed as dependents if they meet certain criteria. One example is a foreign exchange student who is in the U.S. on a J-1 visa. If they live with a U.S. host family and meet the requirements to be considered a dependent, they can be claimed as a dependent for tax purposes.
