If she was under 24 as of 12/31/2022 - Yes, she is your qualifying child dependent and she should check the box that says ''someone else can claim me'' on her return.   A qualifying child's income does not matter.   'Away at school' is a temporary absence.  Don't count time away at school as a time not living with you.

If she was 24 or older as of 12/31/2022, no she is not your qualifying relative dependent.  You can't claim her if she made over $4400 and is 24 or older.

 

Who can I claim as my dependent?    I am assuming she meets the other tests (citizenship, student for 5+ months, not filing with a spouse)
