• To be a student, they must be, during some part of each of any 5 calendar months of the year:
  

1. A full-time student at a school that has a regular teaching staff, course of study, and a regularly enrolled student body at the school, or
   
2. A student taking a full-time, on-farm training course given by a school described in (1), or by a state, county, or local government agency.
   

The 5 calendar months don't have to be consecutive.

If she was under the age of 19, she must have lived with you for more than half of the year.

She did not provide more than half of her own support.

• If there is a question about whether she provided more than half of her support, use worksheet 2 from page 16 of this PDF verison of Publication 501.

She did not file married filing joint tax return.

If your daughter doesn't meet the age or student requirement above, she may still qualify as a dependent if the following applies:
