Question

My daughter received Disability Income but she also worked part time and made $5500.00 last year. Can I still claim her or does she file taxes on her own?

She also has a son if that makes a difference at all.

If your daughter is age 19 or older, not a full time student and had gross income in 2023 of $4,700 or more then you cannot claim her as your dependent.

 

Yes, she should file her own tax return and claim her son as a dependent.  She is eligible for the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax credit on her tax return.
