If dependent went to college just in the spring semester - which includes parts of January through May can he/she be claimed as a full-time student and a dependent (they are 23) since they would have been in school for parts of 5 months?

    Yes.  Any 5 months of the year and any part of a month where the student was classified by the school as a full time student.

     

    Full-time student. A full-time student is a student who is enrolled for the number of hours or courses the school considers to be full-time attendance.
