In TT 2019, I answer all the dependent qualification questions for my daughter born in 1993 (lived with us, provided over half support, full-time student, not disabled) and it still shows her as a qualifying dependent, even though she is over 24. Why?

[Critter-3 · Accepted solution]

Even though she aged out to be a qualifying child dependent she can still be a qualifying relative dependent if her income is under $4300 ... read the rules here :

WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?

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

• They cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
• They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or   Mexican resident.

• They are under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).

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