Age is a factor

Is there an age limit on claiming my child as a dependent?

Answer:


Age is a factor in the qualifying child test, but a qualifying relative can be any age.
As long as the following tests are met, you may claim a dependency exemption for your child:
  1. Qualifying child or qualifying relative test
  2. Dependent taxpayer test
  3. Citizenship or resident test
  4. Joint return test
