Deductions & credits

If your daughter is living on her own, and you are claiming her as a dependent, the credit would only be a $500 Other Dependent credit.  This is a non-refundable credit that you must have a tax liability to reduce. 

If you do have a tax liability and she does qualify as a dependent, then you can go back and double check your answers to be sure you answered them accurately.
