Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your daughter can be claimed as a dependent then on her tax return she must say that she can be claimed as a dependent by someone else. However, if she really does provide 90 percent of her own support then she can claim herself. The rule is that she must not have provided more than half of her own support for you to calim her as a dependent. 

 

  • Support: She must not have provided more than half of her own support during the year for you to claim her as a dependent. 

However, does she live at home and pay rent? Do you pay for her car insurance? etc. Make sure that she really is providing more than half of her own support.

Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute legal or tax advice.
