Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Are you trying to claim them as dependents?    You say the 24 year old does not live with you.   If the 24 year old had more than $5050 of income in 2024, you cannot claim them so take them off your return.

 

Was the 21 year old a student?   If the 21 year old was a full-time student who lived away at college, you call that a "temporary absence" and say they lived with you for the whole year.    If the 21 year old was NOT a student in 2024, then the same rule applies--more than $5050 of income means take them off your return because you cannot claim them.
