I am 19 years old and I am wondering when can a parent no longer claim you on their taxes. I am not in college and everywhere I look it says 19. But she says 23 just wondering if anyone can confirm.

UP TO 19 or UP TO 24 if you remain a full time student...

Who can I claim as my dependent?

You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2019 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements:

Qualifying child

They are related to you.
They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
They are under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
They live with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.

Qualifying relative

They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
They lived with you the entire year.
They made less than $4,150 in 2018 ($4,250 in 2019).
You provided more than half of their financial support.

When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them.
