Friends,
My daughter turned 19 in Nov 2021. She filed her own taxes for 2020. She is working 2 part time jobs and a full time student (first year Under Grad). I am using Desktop ver of TT and I am unable to categorize her as "Credit for Other Dependents" which was done last year by my tax preparator. I have following questions:
1. Can I claim her as Dependent if she chooses to do so and not file her taxes? Since she filed her taxes last year.
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both cases (filing on her own versus Dependent in parents returns)
3. We (Parents) provide all her support (College Tuition, Dorm fees ...etc...). One of the Questions in TT asks ""If your child was away at college, count the number of months away as having lived with you" which makes her living whole year with me which in turn makes her Dependent. What is the way to exclude her as Dependent in TT and categorize her "Credit for Other Dependents"
Thank You
