Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I'm trying to figure out if I can claim my daughter, probably for the last time. She is 23, won't be 24 until next year. She started grad school in late August. She worked for 2.5 months in Pa (I live in DC) in the beginning of this year, then was home. We kept her apartment because we knew she would go back to school in the fall, but she was home this year for exactly 6 months. I pay for her medical bills, insurance, phone, internet at her grad school apartment, some of her rent (she pays for some, and buys most of her food). I paid the cash portion of her tuition, but she got a school loan for 20K. I will pay that when it comes due. I think I can reasonably say that I pay 50% of her expenses, all things considered, but I want to make sure that I get it right.
