I have a daughter who is still dependent on my taxes (last year) She graduated this June and will have an Americorps job Sept-Aug 2015 (13,000) They told her she could claim "exempt" when filling out her tax forms. Is that okay, I thought if you were dependent on someone's return, you couldn't make over 1000. We live in Ct.

You may be able to claim your daughter as a dependent under the qualifying child rules for tax year 2014 since she was a full time student for at least 5 months during the year and she is under the age of 24 in 2014.
If she is receiving wages reported on a W-2, she does not have to file a tax return if the wages are under $6,200 for tax year 2014 since she would be claimed as a dependent child. She could submit a W-4 to the employer claiming exempt if -
See IRS Form W-4 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf
I claim exemption from withholding for 2014, and I certify that I meet both of the following conditions for exemption.
• Last year I had a right to a refund of all federal income tax withheld because I had no tax liability, and
• This year I expect a refund of all federal income tax withheld because I expect to have no tax liability
To be a qualifying child -
1. The child must be your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them.
2. The child must be (a) under age 19 at the end of the year, (b) under age 24 at the end of the year and a full-time student or (c) any age and permnaently and totally disabled.

4. The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year.
5. If the child meets the rules to be a qualifying child of more than one person, you must be the person entitled to claim the child as a qualifying child.
