Your Tax Question - 078

Dear John, I was wondering if there is an age limit for claiming my child on my taxes.  Thank you, Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,


Yes, Your child must be under age 19 (or under age 24 if a full-time student).  However, you may still be able to claim your child as a dependent relative as long as he/she meets some other IRS criteria as well.


Thanks,
John
