Maybe. To meet the qualifying-child test, she must:
- Be under age 19 on Dec. 31, 2024, or under age 24 and a full-time student
- Have lived with you for more than half the year
- Not have provided more than half of her own support
- Not be filing a joint return unless they’re only filing to claim a refund of taxes withheld. Also, there would be no tax liability for either she or her spouse if filing separate returns.
If she filed a joint return with her husband, you must find out if they filed only to claim a refund of all taxes withheld. If not, she doesn’t qualify as your dependent.
If you supported her, enter her information into TurboTax, go through the dependent interview, and TurboTax will confirm whether or not you can claim her.
