Yes if you meet the criteria, you may claim them. It doesn't affect their taxes and their qualifications to receive benefits.

To claim a child as a dependent, he or she must:

* be your child (or adoptive or foster child), sibling, niece, nephew or grandchild;

* be under age 19, or under age 24 and a fulltime student for at least five months of the year; or be permanently disabled, regardless of age;

* have lived with you for more than half the year; and

* have provided no more than half his or her own support for the year.

To claim an adult or a child that does not qualify above, as a dependent:

· You provided more than half of their support.

· They made less than $4,050 in gross taxable income.

· They lived with you for the entire year.

· They are not a dependent on someone else’s taxes.

· They are not filing a joint return with someone else.

· They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.

My daughter had a baby in September 2018. They both live with me. She works and made it about $6000. She did not qualify for Medicaid until around the end of June. Can I claim both of them? I made around 38,000. I also have a son that graduated in May. He made probably around $10,000. Can I also claim him?

Forgot to tell you she is 23 years old. My son is 19

My son was a high school student until he graduated in May. My daughter was not a student at all in 2018.
