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.
Who Gets to Claim a Child. To claim a child, you must pass four basic tests. First, you must be related to the child by blood or adoption. Second, the child must have lived with you for more than half of tax year. Third, the child must be younger than 19 or under 24 and a full-time student. Lastly, the child can't have provided more than half of her own support during the year. In some situations, more than one person passes the tests to claim a dependent.
