We have been claiming our son on our taxes since birth. as of 12/31/2021 he is 24 years old. He has finished his first 4 years of college and is not in grad school. Last year and this year when I entered that he was still a dependent of ours and I put in his tuition, he received the Lifetime Learning credit of $2,000 (for 2021). When I was speaking with a friend who does taxes for a living she told me that I could not claim him as a dependent and that I could NOT claim the education credit, since he is over 23 years old. He does not have any earned income himself.
If this is true why does TurboTax say that we can claim him and his education credits?
Thanks for your help.
