Yes, you may be able to claim your daughter as a qualifying child if:
  • She is under 19, or a full-time student and under 24 years of age. There is no age limit if he is permanently and totally disabled.
  • She lives with you for more than half of the year (Temporary absences, like going to college does not count)
  • You provided more than half of her support for the tax year
  • You are the only person claiming her
See the article below for the rules about claiming a qualifying child. 

Here is a worksheet that will help you determine if you provide more than half of your son's support:
