Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The support she provided for herself is $14,000. To meet the support test, the child cannot have provided more than half of his or her own support during the tax year. Did her $14,000 amount to more than half. Support covers everything; food, housing clothing, transportation, entertainment, etc.
Apart from that, if she qualifies to be your dependent, you can't decline to claim her in hopes that she will get a benefit that she is not entitled to. Even if you do not claim her, she has to say that someone could claim her on her own return.
