Question

Our daughter is 25 & a full-time college student. We paid more than 1/2 her expenses in 2019. Can we claim her as our dependent?

Only if her gross taxable income was less than $4200, and she does not file a tax return; or only files a tax return to claim a refund of withholding and does not claim any other credits.

In that case, the fact that you paid more than half her support, combined with her having gross income less than $4200, would meet the definition of a "qualifying relative" dependent. The interview should allow this if you answer the questions carefully and correctly.
