Q) I claim my daughter as a dependent, she is in college can she claim her own personal exemption.
A) According the IRS; If you can claim an exemption for your daughter as a dependent on your income tax return, she cannot claim her own personal exemption on her income tax return.
- If an individual is filing his or her own tax return, and the individual can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return, the individual cannot claim his or her own personal exemption.
- In this case, your daughter should check the box on her return indicating that someone else can claim her as a dependent.
