Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Possibly.  If your daughter is a full-time student under the age of 24 and meets the criteria below, then yes you can claim her as a dependent. 

The following criteria must be met to claim someone as a qualifying child:

  • Your child (including adopted and foster children), your sibling, or a descendent of any of them.
  • Age 18 or younger at the end of the tax year OR under 24 (and younger than you and your spouse) if they are a full-time student
  • Lived with you for more than 6 months during the tax year
  • They did not provide more than half of their own support
  • They did not file a joint return, unless it was to claim a refund

If she is 24 or over then you would only be able to claim her if she had income of less than $4,700  and you paid over half of her support for the year.
