Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, if your child meets the following requirements they can still be claimed as a child.  See what TurboTax provides regarding claiming a dependent.

 

"To be a qualifying child, the child must meet five tests: age, relationship, residency, support, and joint return. Failure to meet any of these means the child cannot be considered a dependent. 

A child who is permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year qualifies as a dependent child, regardless of age. Otherwise, according to the IRS age test, the child must be both:

  • under age 19 at the end of the calendar year (if not a student)
  • younger than you (or your spouse if filing jointly)

If the child is a full-time student for at least five months of the year, the age requirement is different. The student must be both:

  • under age 24 at the end of the year
  • younger than you (or your spouse if filing jointly)"
