My son who turned 25 November 2024 who is a full-time student and only made 3700.00 dollars can I claim him? Turbo tax is showing no mistakes when I do.

Your son can't be claimed as your qualifying child, but he can be claimed as a qualifying relative as long as he meets these requirements:

  • Income is less than $4,700
  • Parent provided over half of his support
  • Not filing a joint tax return if married unless filing to claim a refund of withholding
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident, U.S. national or resident of Canada and Mexico
  • Parent(s) isn't a dependent on someone else's tax return

Your son doesn't have to live with you to qualify as your qualifying relative.
