My daughter is 25 years old and still in school. Can I still claim her on my return or is the cut off 24?
If I cannot claim her, why do I hear about people claiming their aunt's or parents who are well over 24 but under 65.

Since she is over 24, you can only claim her if she lived with you all year and she had less than $3,300 in gross income.
For parents and siblings, they don't have to live with you but the income limit is the same. If you have a child who is totally and permanently disabled it would apply to them as well.
Whatever you do, please ignore the rant from ESAVVY1 below. Not only does that clown not know anything about taxes, if you look up some of his other answers, he's a general-purpose JERK all around.

If she was still 24 as of Dec. 30th last year, you can claim her as your dependent child if she was at least a half-time student. If she was over 24, and she lived with you all year and had less than $3300 in income, she will count as what they call a "qualifying relative." Please note that the IRS considers being away at college as a temporary abscence and that's okay.
Parents who are disabled or who have their kids helping with expenses (if I remember the IRS definition correctly, it can be a parent or sibling of a parent) then they can claim them as dependents if they provide more than half their support.
There is an age and relationship test (among other tests) that the IRS says a dependent must meet in order to be able to be claimed on a tax return, and then they have exceptions for aging parents and others. Personally, I think some Senator or Congressperson somewhere wanted a way to claim his/her parents and fixed it into the IRS code.

in the journey that your daughter has an insurance sort and is earning a severe salary, she will at last pay some tax, yet she could have allowances set by contrast and for the 1st twelve months she won't pay lots in any respect, if something. She could have a P45 with a tax code. If not, she could touch the community Tax workplace who could quickly placed her suitable. She could additionally pay N.insurance contributions if she replaced into earning adequate. i'm hoping it is beneficial.

Yes you can claim her but not for the head of household filing status unless she actually lived with you and you can claim her as a dependant as long as she did not earn more then 3,300 dollars in income from anywhere.

In generaly, you can but you have to provide the majority of her support and she cannot claim herself as an excmption on her own taxes.

........ Her age has nothing to do with it. You have to claim her as a dependent that has lived with you for the majority of the year and you were her main source of support. You can just call the IRS and get EXACT answers. DON'T LISTEN TO PEOPLE ON HERE BECAUSE YOUR THE ONE THAT WILL GET INTO TROUBLE IF ANYTHING IS INCORRECT. So just call the IRS and they will walk you threw your WHOLE tax forum and if you take it to your local IRS tax office they will do it for you right there on their computer... Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
