Probably not, if she has a job. She's too old for you to claim her as a qualifying child, even if she's still a student, unless she is totally and permanently disabled. But if she doesn't have over $3400 gross income for the year, and you provide over half of her support, then you can still claim her as a qualifying relative, which is the only other way to claim a dependent. If she does have over $3400 income though, you can't claim her as a dependent even if you provide ALL of her support.
Most of the answers above are totally or partially wrong, so don't just follow them.

Quite a few of your earlier responsers need to review what a "Qualifying Relative" is. You can claim your 25 year old as a dependent as a qualifying relative. Four tests have to be met. 1. Relationship (your child), 2. Gross Income - If you dependent made less than $3,300, 3. Support - Did you provide over one half support for your dependent?, and 4. Not a qualifying child (in your case your dependent is older than 24). If your dependent worked, she of he can file to get all tax withholdings return.

Yes. You can't claim her as your Qualifying Child but you can claim her under Qualifying Relative. Here are the requirements:
1. The person cannot be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of anyone else.
2. The person either (a) must be related to you in one of the ways listed under Relatives who do not have to live with you, or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household (and your relationship must not violate local law).
3. The person's gross income for the year must be less than $3,300.
4. You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.

My 5.5 yr old daughter started that when her brother turned 1 and she wanted whatever he wanted and everything was drama. I went out with her to a hobby store and picked out different colored marbles. Took one of her brother's old stage one jars (had kept some for odds and ends) and told her she would get one if she refrained from whining and crying when she got upset about something other than getting hurt. At first, we actively "caught her" being good and gave her a marble very often. Then we split it into morning and afternoon. When she filled the jar, she got something small she really wanted. When she got pretty good at filling up her jar, we moved up to a stage 2 sized jar. And, we eventually went to the whole day as she got a bit older. We now have a stage 3 jar that is on it's way out. There's no need for it and she has just about forgotten about it. The whining is at a minimum, and it really got her rear end in line if we threatened to take a marble away if she really misbehaved. Good luck!!

As long as you claim head of household and she is listed as a dependent that no one else can claim and she has been dependent upon you for support more than 6 months last year.

How much does she make?
The cut off for students is 24. If your child makes over $3400 for 2007, then NO you can not claim them.

MAYBE if she is a full time student with no or little income and doesn't claim herself on her own return - talk to a tax accountant/CPA

My boyfriend claimed me as a dependent when I was a full-time stay at home mom. So I'm assuming yes. If your child is working and not making alot of money, they might qualify for the EIC credit.
