No, the term "Dependent" used when adding a Relationship isn't necessarily a tax law term, but rather an identifier that the person "depends" on the head of household for the basic necessities of life (ie. food, housing, etc.).
Is it a legal term (like in tax law where "dependents" can be claimed?) or is it just the word that the developers opted for.
