State tax filing

@gman98 as long as she is under 24 years old and a full-time student, provides less than 50% of her own support, lives with you at least 6 months of the year (and living away at school is still considered "living at home" as the IRS defines it), you can claim her as a dependent.

 

The year she turns 24 "all bets are off" as the rules change.  You could only claim her if YOU provide MORE THAN 50% of her financial support and she earns less than $5,200 (2025).   Living with you for any length of time is not a requirement. 

 

Either way, the tax credit of claiming her is worth up to $500.
