If she is eligible to be claimed as a dependent then you should claim her.

Is she a full time student? If not, is her gross income in 2023 $4,700 or more?

It depends. Is she still in school? If not, did she have income?

The following criteria must be met to claim someone as a qualifying child:

Your child (including adopted and foster children), your sibling, or a descendent of any of them.
Age 18 or younger at the end of the tax year OR under 24 (and younger than you and your spouse) if they are a full-time student
Lived with you for more than 6 months during the tax year
They did not provide more than half of their own support
They did not file a joint return, unless it was to claim a refund

If she is not in school and had income of less than $4,700, you may be able to claim her as a qualifying relative instead of a qualifying child. This would give you the $500 non-refundable other dependent credit.
