My daughter was a full time college student who lived in our home for over 9 months in 2016. She made over $10,000 but did not pay living expenses. Can we claim her as a dependent?

As long as she was a full time student for at least part of any five months and did not contribute more than half of her support, you should be able to claim her as a qualifying child.
