Retirement tax questions

That answer just goes back to claiming the adult child as a dependent.  If they are over the age of 16 then they are not eligible for the child tax credit but are eligible for the Other Dependent credit of $500.  Any dependent on a tax return who is age 17 or older can be eligible for the Other Dependent credit, not just a disabled dependent.  This is on a federal tax return.

 

As for a state return, which state will you be reporting the adult child as a dependent?
