Yes. Being away at college is considered a temporary absence and is not counted as days not living with the parent. As long as the student is under 24 and the following support issue is good, then the student can be your dependent.
The only income restriction is that your college student must not be providing more than half of their own support, from their own funds.
- Student loans, if the student is liable for the debt, is funds used for the students support from their own funds
- If any of the loan proceeds were not yet used, do not count that amount
- Jobs - money earned at a job is considered provided by the student
- Any of their money placed in a savings account and not removed is not considered as being spent on the student.
- A car is not considered support if it is not in the name of the student, the expenses to operate it would be money spent on the student's support
- The Worksheet for Dependent Support will be a helpful review.
