Filing taxes on Adult Disabled Child Not Working

[Birdiebridge]

I have filed taxes on my adult disabled child every year.  This year, I was told I did not need to file as I claim this child as my dependent.  She does not work and receives only SSI and SS Retirement from a parent, earning less than  $14,600.00 in 2024.

Is this correct?

Thank you in advance.

The IRS has a quick quiz, Filing requirement - Do I need to file a tax return? 

They also have Dependent - Who can I claim?

Without knowing more, it sounds like you can claim and the child would not need to file but there are always details so taking the quizzes is the best thing you can do. The IRS updates them each year so you can check each year with the new rules.
