Question

can we carry her on our tax return when we file even though she are working she just started to work in november

Answer 1

It depends upon her age and her gross income. She can be your dependent under Qualifying Child or if she is not Qualifying Child because of her age, then under Qualifying Relative.

Also if your daughter qualifies as your dependent, she can't claim her exemption even if you don't claim her. She will still get standard deduction of $5,350 (for the earned income) so she may not have taxable income.

Also if both you and your daughter claim the exemption, both of you will get letters from IRS. One of you will have to file amended return and pay interest and penalty. So you should discuss your position with your daughter.

Qualifying Child
1. The child must be (a) under age 19 at the end of the year, (b) under age 24 at the end of the year and a full-time student, or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled.
2. The child must have lived with you for more than half of the year.
3. The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year.

Qualifying Relative
1. The person cannot be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of anyone else.
2. The person's gross income for the year must be less than $3400.
3. You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.

Answer 2

If she's under 19, or is under 24 and was a full-time student during at least five months of the year, you can if she didn't provide over half of her own support for he year.

If she doesn't meet those rules because of her age, but doesn't have gross income over $3400 for the year, then you can.

Otherwise no, even if you supported her for most of the year.

If you can claim her, be sure she knows not to claim herself, since if you both claim her you'll both end up with IRS paperwork to do to sort it out.

Answer 3

You probably can as long as she doesn't make too much money or provide over half of her own support.

First, if she is under 19 as of December 31, or under 24 and not a full-time student, then you can claim her as a dependent "qualifying child."

Second, if she does not fit into the category of "qualifying child," then as long as you provided over half of her support and she earned less than $3,400 then you can claim her as a dependent "qualifying relative."
