No. You can still claim him/her as dependent.
To claim your child as your dependent, your child must meet either the qualifying child test or the qualifying relative test:
- To meet the qualifying child test, your child must be younger than you or your spouse if filing jointly and either younger than 19 years old or be a "student" younger than 24 years old as of the end of the calendar year.
- There's no age limit if your child is "permanently and totally disabled" or meets the qualifying relative test.
Your child might need to file his/her own return even when claimed as dependent on your return.
Do I need to file my own taxes if I'm a dependent?
