To be a qualifying child of your parents, you have to meet these tests:

 

- be under the age of 18, or 24 if a full time student

- lives with your parents more than half the year

- not have provided more than half of your own support

 

If you don't meet all of the tests above, you would not be a qualifying child and would need to answer no. If you do meet all of the tests, review your answers in the Personal Info section to ensure the information you provided is correct.
