Age. You have to stop claiming your child when she turns 19, unless she goes on to become a full-time student. In that case, you keep claiming the exemption until she's 24, as long as she meets the other qualifying-child tests. After a child reaches age 24, you can only claim her if she's completely and totally disabled.
What's wonderful about this is that it reduces your taxable income. The exemption amount for the new tax year is $4,000 per child when you file your taxes, up from $3,950 each for 2014. If your child is under 19 or is a full-time student, under age 24, you may be eligible for this tax benefit. Even if your kids are over the age limit, you may be able to claim them if they didn't make over $4,000 and they don't provide over half of their own support.
