Do you know if I can claim my 34 yo daughter who was mentally disabled last year. If she worked and made $5K, Can I claim her? She is living with me.

Yes, you may be able to claim your 34-year-old daughter as a dependent if she meets certain criteria. Here are the key points:

  1. Qualifying Child: Since your daughter is permanently and totally disabled, she can be considered a qualifying child regardless of her age
  2. Gross Income: Her gross income of $5,000 is below the 2024 threshold for a qualifying relative, which is $5,050
  3. Support Test: You must provide more than half of her financial support
