Can I claim both father and mother for the dependent deduction? Can I get two refunds in one year?

Brief answer: Yes. If father and mother each meet non-resident and income conditions, you may claim two dependent deductions in the same year, and refund amounts add up.
Detailed explanation
The general dependent deduction is calculated per person: if both parents qualify, claim two ¥580,000 deductions (elderly deduction types depend on age). Prove living expenses paid to both; remittance records to the same account are acceptable if amounts are reasonable. List both parents on the Correction Request form dependent deduction section. If only one parent meets income requirements, only one can be claimed. This tool supports estimates and form generation for both parents. Final approved count depends on tax office review of proof materials.
