My daughter is a 19-year-old college. She earned $21,000 working during the summer last year. We pay her college tuition, room and board. Can we still claim her as a dependent on our taxes?

If your daughter has income in 2024, you don't report your daughter's income on your tax return.
You can still claim her as a dependent if she didn't provide more than half of her own support for the year and she was under 19 at the end of 2024 (or under 24 and a full-time student).
If she is 19 or older (or 24 or older and a full-time student), you can't claim her as a dependent if she earned more than $5,050 in 2024.
If it has to be reported, at all, it goes on her own return. If your dependent daughter is under age 19 (or under 24 and a full-time student), she must file a tax return for 2024 if she had any of the following:
If your dependent daughter files her own return, she has to indicate in the My Info section of TurboTax that she can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.
