Question

Can I get a dependent tax credit for supporting a child who files her own taxes because she is a full-time student who also works full-time?

Level 13

Your child may be considered to be your Qualifying Child, and you may be able to claim your him or her as a dependent if he/she:

is under age 24

is a full time student

lives with you

does not provide more than half of his or her own support.

The last item is important, because you don't have to provide more than half the support, but the student can not have supported himself/herself.

See this link for more information, including Worksheet 3-1 for determining support.
