If a 23yo child lived with us the whole year I provided all support except for 1 month and we are filing jointly, can we claim her as a dependent if she's filed before?

[cprue2018]

The person in question is my husband's daughter she was 23 at the end of 2023. She worked 1 month of the year and didnt make a whole lot. I provided all support the rest of the year as she lived with us. she has filed taxes before as she had jobs and made the money to do so.

Your daughter may meet the dependency requirements as a qualifying relative.

TurboTax software will ask you simple questions and give you the tax deductions and credits for which you are eligible based upon your answers.

A dependent must meet the requirements of a qualifying child or a qualifying relative in order for you to claim them on your tax return.

The tests for a qualifying child are:

• Relationship: Must be your child, adopted child, foster child, brother or sister, or a descendant of one of these (grand or nephew).
• Residence: Must have the same residence for more than half the year.
• Age: Must be under age 19 or under 24 and a full-time student for at least 5 months. They can be any age if they are totally and permanently disabled.
• Support: The dependent must not have provided more than half of their own support during the year.
• Joint Support: The child cannot file a joint return for the year.

The tests for a qualifying relative are:

• Qualifying Child: They are not the “qualifying child” of another taxpayer or your “qualifying child.”
• Gross Income: The dependent being claimed earns less than $4,700 in 2023.
• Total Support: You provide more than half of the total support for the year.
• Member of Household or Relationship: The person (a friend, girlfriend, non-blood relative) must live with you all year as a member of your household or be related to you.
