Paid most daughters expenses downsized from job. We paid car and shelter expenses (bought condo for her) pay all utilities. Why can't claim her as dependent?

Our daughter earned approx 15,300 but we paid for most of all her living expenses. Her money only paid for some food, clothing, hygiene and entertainment.  Why cant we claim her as dependent.?

[Rachel_W]

If you daughter is over age 18, you are not able to claim her as a Dependent because her income was over $12,000.

One exception to the income rule is if she was a Full Time Student under the age of 24.
