Is there an age limit on claiming my child as a dependent?
Q) Is there an age limit on claiming my child as a dependent?
A) To be claimed as your dependent, your child must meet the qualifying child test or the qualifying relative test. To meet the qualifying child test, your child must be younger than you and, as of the end of the calendar year, either be younger than 19 years old or be a student and younger than 24 years old. There is no age limit on claiming your child as a dependent if the child meets the qualifying relative test.
As long as all of the following tests are met, you may claim a dependency exemption for your child:
- Qualifying child or qualifying relative test,
- Dependent taxpayer test,
- Citizen or resident test, and
- Joint return test.
What kind of insanity is it that the only tax office in San Diego is essentially located on an island with no dock?
Who could possibly think that combining both federal tax agency with Immigration and not provide sufficient parking was a good idea?
Did the planners fail first grade math? How could they not count how many people would be working and using services in the building and provide accessible parking?
To compound their planning disaster, they put in a single security check point. It is rather like building a bathroom with the only access being a tiny dog door.
The IRS should open some satellite branches people can actually access.
