My daughter is 24, made $30,000 and a full time grad student. Can I claim her
No you cannot claim her as your dependent. Since she is 24 then she can no longer be claimed under the Qualifying Child rules where their income was not a factor. She could only be claimed under the Qualifying Relative rules where if she has gross income of $4,200 or more then no one can claim her as a dependent.
To be a Qualifying Relative -
1. The person cannot be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of any other taxpayer. A child is not the qualifying child of any other taxpayer if the child's parent (or any other person for whom the child is defined as a qualifying child) is not required to file an income tax return or files an income tax return only to get a refund on income tax withheld.
2. The person either (a) must be related to you or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household.
3. The person's gross income for the year must be less than $4,200 (social security does not count) in 2019
4. You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.
5. The person must be a U.S. citizen or a U.S., Canada, or Mexico resident for some part of the year.
6. The person must not file a joint return with their spouse.
