Since your son is 24 years old and made more than $4,200 you cannot claim him even if you pay all of his expenses.  If he was 23 years old and a full-time college student, then yes, you would still be able to claim him. 

 

At age 24, they no longer qualify as a qualifying child even if a full time student. If he did not earn over $4,200 he would still qualify for the Other Dependent Credit, but since he earned too much, you cannot claim him for that either.
