Yes, you can claim her if she is a full-time student under age 24. If you provide support and she would live with you if she did not have housing local to her college, there is no issue.

You can also claim education credits for paying for college if you meet those guidelines.

TurboTax is telling me that if my spouses income was less then 5000 and that I paid for expenses that he is considered a dependent when I'm entering all my information.
