Q. Can we claim Matthew as a dependent, he attended college and graduated may 2023?
A. No, unless he had less than $4700 of income for all of 2023.
There are two types of dependents, "Qualifying Children"(QC) and Other ("Qualifying Relative" in IRS parlance even though they don't have to actually be related). There is no income limit for a QC but there is an age limit, full time student status, a relationship test and residence test.
Since he was not a full time student, during his last term, ending with the May graduation, he cannot be a QC. In order to qualify as a Qualifying Relative dependent, his income must be under $4700.
A person can still be a Qualifying relative dependent, if not a Qualifying Child, if he meets the 6 tests for claiming a dependent:
