My daughter graduated from grad school on July 31st. I paid her tuition, room and board. I am claiming her as a dependent. Since graduating she obtained a job starting job n September 2021. If I claim her as a dependent then what does she claim on her taxes?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Your daughter would just need to mark the box that says "Someone can claim you as a dependent." That will let the software know to adjust your daughter's standard deduction amount to reflect that you are claiming her as a dependent.
Was she under the age of 24 in 2021? If not, will she have gross income of $4,300 or more in 2021?
It makes a difference on her being a dependent based on your answers to the questions.
Thanks for adding this DoninGA! I was assuming the daughter would qualify as a dependent, but I meant to address that issue.
Yes she is 21 years old and has been a student until graduating with her MBA in September 2021
