My 22 year old daughter lives at home and graduated college in May, 2021. She made $8,300 for the year. Can we still claim her as a dependent?

    Yes, the student graduated. However, since the student was in school for 5 months, he or she can still be a dependent, and, if so, would best allow his or her parents to claim tuition expenses. If the student was not a dependent, however, the student should claim the expenses.
