Hi. 

My adult son (age 48) made $19,500 in 2024.  We provided him with over $11,000 in support in 2024.   He lives on his own.   Can we claim him as a deduction?

No, you cannot claim him as a dependent.  Under the Qualifying Relative rules they must have gross income of less than $5, 050 in 2024 to be eligible.
