How to Claim graduate school student as dependent ?

skyworks
Level 7

Hi,

I enter a graduate school student who is over 24 years old (was 25 years old and born 2020) on parents return under dependent.

  But not sure why it is flow to the form 8812 line 4 - qualifying children under17.

It should show on line 6 - Other dependent.

If the graduate Scholl student over 24, can only be claimed as relative not dependent child..

Anyone know how to fix it?

 

thanks!

Born in 2020 and already 25 years old------ must be a fast growing kid 😁

Does she meet the income limitations to be claimed as a dependent?

Sorry my typo, Made correction on tax return input. born 2000 (25 years in 2025), yes the kid met the income limitation (earned $2800 summer).

 

The kid is claimed  as relative, but on the input selected option 2 +Child not living with taxpayer

Sorry, I don't speak ProConnect since I use ProSeries.  Since I don't know what options you have to choose from, have you just tried some of the other options until you get the one you like?
