My 23 year old son was a college student last year. I am NOT claiming him as a dependent, but could if I wanted to. The Maine STFC form says that he would NOT be eligible if he were claimed as a dependent on someone else's return. Based on that statement in the form, since I am NOT claiming him, he should be eligible. However, turbotax will not give the credit. Turbotax's reason is that I COULD claim him as a dependent. But the Maine form doesn't say COULD. Which is it? Actually claiming as a dependent or able to claim as a dependent?
Thanks
