My dependent child is a full-time college student who worked in 2016 and made $14,000 can I still claim her on my taxes?

You are likely able to claim her as your dependent if;

She is under 24 and a full time student for at least part of any 5 months during the year, and

She did not contribute more than half of her own support.

IRS Pub 501 contains all the information required to be able to claim her as a dependent child.
