You have met the relationship test - however; there are three more requirements:  

 

  • Do they meet the age requirement? Your child must be under age 19 or, if a full-time student, under age 24. There's no age limit if your child is permanently and totally disabled.
  • Do they live with you? Your child must live with you for more than half the year, but several exceptions apply.   You most likely qualify for this exception:  Living at college is considered a temporary absence so you are still counted as living at home.  
  • Do you financially support them? Your child may have a job, but they cannot provide more than half of their own support.
