What is the maximum age of claiming a child under the child exemption law of this year for filing your taxes? Had it changed since last year, I am not able to child my 17 year old child, but I can my 15 year old child. So is the maximum age of claiming my child under this law 16?

As long as you provided more than 1/2 of the support for a person (kid, in-law, etc) living in your house, you can claim them as a deduction. I claimed my 24 and 21 year old college kids and my 93 year old mother-in-law.

Don't know, but my mother was able to claim either myself or my sister into our 20's (although she had to "claim" the other as an "equivalent to spouse")...in return we passed out Educational Tax Credits onto her.
