Seems like you are asking if you can claim your 18 year old daughter in a thread that is addressing Child Care expenses.
It sounds like you CAN claim your daughter as your dependent.
If your question is about claiming an 18 year old daughter and you are confused because she earned income:
- if she is your qualifying child, her income is of no concern as long as she did not supply more than half her own support.
To claim a dependent as your qualifying child:
- "Are they related to you? The child can be your son, daughter, stepchild, eligible foster child, brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, adopted child or an offspring of any of them.
- Do they meet the age requirement? Your child must be under age 19 or, if a full-time student, under age 24. There is no age limit if your child is permanently and totally disabled.
- Do they live with you? Your child must live with you for more than half the year, but several exceptions apply.
- Do you financially support them? Your child may have a job, but that job cannot provide more than half of her support.
- Are you the only person claiming them? "
So if you are asking about claiming your daughter, yes, if she meets the requirements listed above.
