Yes, if she lives with you and you pay more than 1/2 her expenses. If she is filing make sure she checks the box that states that she can be claimes on another persons taxes.
Additionally, you can write off her payments to the school.

You may be able to claim her as a dependent. See Pub 501, you can get a copy at the IRS website.
You cannot claim any of her Schedule A deductions. Only she can do that. Nor can you claim her tuition.

As long as you provided financial support for over six months of the year you can claim anyone living in your home as a dependent. My daughters boy friend stayed with us for two years. I talked to the IRS and they told me I could. No actual proof was needed.

I even haven't any authentic help, yet I do imagine that your daughter belongs with the daddy that longs for her on a daily basis. i recognize that the adoptive mothers and fathers will be heartbroken, yet they receives yet another danger. they want to do what they could want someone to do if the table become became. i do not recognize what episode it become, yet very last week Dr.Phil did a coach about father's rights and adoption. that they had some recommended tips about the challenge and also you should seem it up on his website. perhaps you'll locate some that's prepared to wrestle on your rights!

usually, if a child is still in school, and you have proof that you are paying for living expenses, etc....... then i would say yes.
my parents claimed me as a dependent when i was in college, but then i couldnt file seperatly. because one person can not be claimed twice.

As long as you pay at least 50% of her living expenses, you can claim her. These expenses can include rent, utilities, groceries, tuition, etc.
If you claim her, make sure she doesn't claim herself, too, or you're asking for an audit.
