It depends. If your daughter meets the dependency test, you may be able to claim her and her child as dependents. Below you will find the basic qualifiers:
For a Qualifying child
- They have to be related to you.
- They can't be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
- They must be a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
- If they are married, they can't file a joint return with their spouse.
- They must be under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
- They must have 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.
Although your daughter graduated in May, she still may be considered a full-time student. Refer to the TurboTax Help article Am I considered a full-time student?
If you claim your daughter as your dependent and she files a tax return to get a refund of taxes taken out of her income, make sure that she shows on her tax return that she can be claimed on someone else’s tax return. Refer to the TurboTax article: How do I indicate that I can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return?
