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.
In order to claim a child and get money for child care back on your taxes, the child must be under age 13 at the time the expenses are paid. The age rule is waived for children who are medically incapable of self-care. The child may be your child, a stepchild, adopted child, foster child or sibling.
