Dependent child over 24

No, if she is over 23 and makes more than $4,400 then she cannot be claimed as a dependent. Please see Who can I claim as my dependent? for details.

 

To further clarify:  There age today does not matter. If the student was over the age of 23 *on or before Dec 31* of the tax year, and earned more than $4,300 during that tax year, nobody qualifies to claim them as a dependent.

 

Thanks for clarifying that. That said, should I continue to show her 1099-T and other school expenses on my taxes or that wont help? Should she file her own taxes even the gross pay was under $12k? One thing I noticed that I should reduce my number of exemptions now. I owe IRS a lot now. Thanks in advance. 

@pm92508 TurboTax is following the tax laws.   Despite the fact that your "child" is still being supported by you, they are too old to be a qualified child, and made too much to be a qualified relative dependent.  That means you have no way to claim them as either kind of  dependent.  Sorry.

 

WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?

 

You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2022 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements:

Qualifying child

• They're related to you.
• They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
• They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
• They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
• They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
• No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
• They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
• They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.

Qualifying relative

• They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
• They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
• They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
• They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
• They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply).
• They made less than $4,400 in 2022.
• You provided more than half of their financial support.

When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.

 

should I continue to show her 1099-T and other school expenses on my taxes

No. You can't. If the student is required to file a tax return, the student reports everything on their own tax return.
