That should qualify her as a dependent. &nbsp;If she is not a full time student, then she is too old to be a qualifying child dependent. &nbsp;She might be a qualifying relative dependent, which has different tests -- it doesn't matter where she lived, but you would need to pay more than half her living expenses for the whole year, and she has to earn less than $4050.</P> Thu, 06 Jun 2019 09:38:28 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/if-she-was-a-full-time-student-for-at-least-part-of-5-dif/01/661880#M267128 Opus 17 2019-06-06T09:38:28Z
