No, not as your qualifying child.
The age requirement for claiming a dependent as your "Qualifying Child" is determined at the end of the Tax Year, so on December 31st.
According to the IRS:
A qualifying Child is..."A student under age 24 at the end of the year and younger than you (or your spouse if filing jointly); or • Permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year, regardless of age."
The second option to claiming a dependent is if they are your "Qualifying Relative".
A Qualifying Relative does NOT have the age restriction but DOES have an income restriction of $5,050 for the tax year.
If your son was 24 (or older) on December 31, 2024 and earned $5,050 in 2024, that person is NOT your dependent.
