Age. You have to stop claiming your child when she turns 19, unless she goes on to become a full-time student. In that case, you keep claiming the exemption until she's 24, as long as she meets the other qualifying-child tests. After a child reaches age 24, you can only claim her if she's completely and totally disabled.
Generally, in order for someone to claim a child as a dependent on their taxes, a parent must provide at least 50% of the child's financial support during the tax year. For couples who are still married and living together, claiming kids as dependents is usually a slam-dunk. Using this form, the custodial parent can relinquish the exemption for one year, a number of years, or forever, depending on what the parties agree to. 2  If you relinquish the exemption, you are also relinquishing eligibility for the child tax credit.
