If she was 24 as of 12/31/23 you can not claim her if she had over 4,700 income.  Sorry.

Once your child is 24 years of age or older, and not disabled, they no longer qualify as a dependent unless they meet the gross income test, just as any other adult relative whom you support.

 

Here's a checklist for determining whether your parent (or other relative) qualifies.

  • Do they live with you? Your relative must live with you all year as a member of your household or be on the list of “relatives who do not live with you” in Publication 501. About 30 types of relatives are on this list.
  • Do they make less than $4,700 in 2023 ($5,050 for 2024)? Your relative can't have a gross income of more than $4,700 in 2023 and be claimed by you as a dependent. This threshold increases to $5,050 for 2024. Certain income is excluded from this requirement such as all or part of Social Security benefits.
  • Do you financially support them? You must provide more than half of your relative's total support for the year.
