Child in the Military

ncmc1975 · ‎March 2, 2025

My daughter is 20 years old and is in the military. I was able to claim her in 2023 since she was in high school and did not leave until August 2023. Will I be able to claim her again this year? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

No. If your daughter was in the military for all of 2024 you cannot claim her as a dependent. She can file her own tax return and does not have to say that she can be claimed.
