which of the choices below are the tests that must be met to qualify as a qualifying relative?
☐ occupation
☐ relationship
☐ support
☐ age
☐ gross income

Explanation:

To qualify as a qualifying relative (for tax or similar purposes), the tests typically include:

• Relationship: The person must have a specific familial or other qualifying relationship.
• Support: The taxpayer must provide more than half of the person’s support.
• Gross income: The qualifying relative’s gross income must be below a certain threshold (e.g., in US tax law, it has to be less than the exemption amount or a specified limit).
• Age is not a test for a qualifying relative (it is more relevant for a qualifying child, where age limits apply).
• Occupation is irrelevant to the tests for a qualifying relative.

So the applicable options are Relationship, Support, and Gross income.

Answer:

• Relationship
• Support
• Gross income
