Probably. As long as she meets the requirements below, you can claim her. There is no income limitation on a qualifying child. A 19-yr-old that is a full time student can be a qualifying child. If you support your granddaughter, enter her information into TurboTax and answer the follow-up questions. TurboTax will determine if you can claim her as a dependent or not. If you claim her as a dependent, make sure she indicates that someone else can claim her on her tax return. Otherwise, you may not be able to e-file.
Qualifying child:
- They're related to you.
- They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
- They're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
- They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
- They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- There's no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
- They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
- They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.
