Yes, you can still claim them as dependents as long as:
- They are
students under age 24 at the end of the year;
- They have lived
with you for more than half the year [being away at college is still
considered living with you for tax purposes]; and
- They can't have provided
more than half of their own support for the year.
However, you will have to
mail in your return since your kids' social
security numbers already appear on returns in the IRS system claiming
themselves as dependents. When the IRS gets your return, also claiming them as dependents, they will be contacting all of you to see who should get the deduction.
