Can I claim Head of Household if my daugther graduates in May from college

I understand that I can claim her as a dependent if she is a full time student for at least 5 months which is May?  If she graduates and gets a job and makes more than $4600 in that year, can I still claim her as dependent for the year because she lived at home and was a full time student for 5 moths or does the income she makes at end of year get rid of that.

Yes, you can claim her and file Head of Household if otherwise qualified. As long as she doesn’t provide more than half of her support her earnings are not a problem.
