Can we claim our married child as a dependent on our 2019 return?  She married in August 2019 so we provided over half of her support (8 months) for the year.  She was a full time student for one semester before marriage also.  She held a full-time job from August-December after she married.  She and her husband have not filed their return yet.  I put this information (provided 8 months of support, married at end of year, child will not file joint return) into Turbotax, and it tells me that she is not a dependent.  Why?  I don't understand.  Please help if you can.  Will this status affect our ability to claim educational expenses for her?  Thank you.
