Can I claim my child as a dependent if she made more than $9000?

She's 18, went to school part-time, and lived with me the whole year.

Can I claim my child as a dependent if she made more than $9000?

Yes - you can if you provided more than half of her support.

Since her earned income is more than $6300 for 2015, she is required to file her own return. When she does, please make sure that she indicates on HER tax return she is being claimed by someone else.
