18 year old son is still in college and lives at home, can i still claim him?

Yes, provided you provide half (or more) of his financial support and you're the only one claiming him, you should have no issues claiming your son.

How do I do this?  I have been searching, but it says that I cannot since he is 18.

Are you trying to claim him for the Child Care Tax Credit, or just as a dependent?

What are the options and how do I do this?

[KaseyG]

If you are just trying to claim him as a dependent, you should be able to list him under "Dependents" in the Personal Information tab. For the Child Care Tax Credit, I believe it is only if you paid babysitters/daycare. Try going through the Personal Information tab to see if you can add him.
