Dependents

In 2021 my daughter graduated college in May. She lived with me from January to August. She started a full time job in September. Can I still claim her if she supported herself for four months.

If she is under age 24 and did not provide more than half of her support for the year you can claim her.

Also, We received a 1098-T for her tuition. Can I claim this or does she have to.

You can use 1098-T if you are claiming her as a dependent. Otherwise, your daughter will use the 1098-T in her tax return to claim educational credits.
