Claiming mom as dependent for tax Benefits

[Boston Caruthers]

I have heard on the bigger pockets podcast that you have a W-2 salary. You can have your partner be a real estate professional to get some great tax benefits. My mom is a real estate agent so can I claim my mom as a dependent and file taxes with her to get the real estate profession status?
