I had similar question and found this response:
Generally, a parent can claim your college student children as dependents on their tax returns. However, to claim a college student as a dependent on your taxes, the Internal Revenue Service has determined that the qualifying child or qualifying relative must:
- Be younger than the taxpayer (or spouse if MFJ) and:
- Be under age 19,
- Under age 24 and a full-time student for at least five months of the year.
- Or the child can be any age if totally and permanently disabled.
- Have lived with you for more than half the tax year. There are exceptions for temporary absences during the tax year, such as when your child is away at school.
