Can I claim my 20 year old if he is living with me full time and earned an income of over 7,000, but I supported him in 2016

[KrisD · Accepted solution]

No.

Not if he was not a student in 2016.

To claim a dependent, the person must be your "Qualifying Child" or "Qualifying Relative".

Your son would not pass the qualifying child requirement unless he was under 19, or under 24 and a full time student.

He would not be a qualifying relative because he made more than $4,050.

If he was a full time student in 2016, yes. If he was not a full time student in 2016, then NO.

If my 19 year old son attends college full time away from home can I claim him on my taxes?

Yes, if you supply more than half his support and meet the other requirements. Please use link for more information
