Yes You can claim her as a qualifying child if she passes

1. The age test, must be under the age of 19 or, if a full-time student, under the age of 24. There is no age limit if your child is permanently and totally disabled.

2. Residency test, must live with you for more than 1/2 of the year.

3. Support Test, You must be providing for more than 1/2 of their support even while they are working.

4. Nobody else should claim her as a dependent

There is no limit for income.

She will become a qualifying relative if she fails the age test but passes all the other three tests. Then the income limit is $4300.

She can file her own return but should indicate that she is being claimed by you as dependent on your tax return.
