Can I claim the dependent exemption on my daughter if her income is $4,300 but I provide way more than half her living expenses?

I provide more than half my daughters living expenses.She turned 24 in 2017, attending grad school part time, She lives at home with a part time job that provided gross income over $4,050 in 2017. Everything I read says that for children there is no income limit to claim the exemption, but Turbo Tax is saying I cannot claim her as a dependent based on the income. What is the correct answer?

No.  She is 24 and her income is over $4050.  Sorry, you cannot claim her as your dependent.  She can file her own tax return and get her own personal exemption.
