Yes, you may be able to claim this child if he qualifies as a dependent.
A
"qualifying child" is:
-
related to
you—your son,
daughter, stepchild, adopted child, foster child, brother, sister,
stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your
grandchild, niece, or nephew).
-
under age 19
(or a student under 24)—the child must be under age 19 at the end of the tax year, or
under age 24 if a full-time student for at least five months of the year,
or any age if permanently and totally disabled at any time during the
year.
-
not
self-supporting—did
not pay for over half of his or her own support during the year.
-
lives with
you—either for
more than half of the year or falls within special rules for children of
parents who are divorced, separated, or living apart (temporary absences
for things like schooling, medical treatment, vacations, business, or
military service don’t count.)
-
U.S. citizen
or resident—a
U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or resident of the United States, Canada, or
Mexico for some part of the year.
We recommend that you enter the child's information in TurboTax and let the
program tell you if you can claim this person as a dependent.
Dependents are added from the Personal Info tab found in the TurboTax header.
