Hello Yvburley,
Depending on your child's age and any amount of earned income that she has made, you can claim your child as a dependent even if she is in college.
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.
If your child is working while they are in school, you must still be able to show that you are providing more than half their support.
The good news is that even if they live away from you for school, they are still considered to be living with you. That temporary absence generally does not count against you.
Thanks,
Sean
