Generally, no because he would no longer be providing support for the child nor sharing a household, but there might be cases where the child would still qualify as a dependent for tax purposes. Usually someone else would qualify to claim the child instead.

If your child has a job can you claim them on your income tax?

Yes as long as you and your child meet all of the rules for you to be able to claim your child as a qualified child dependent on your 1040 income tax return. You child will file the child's own 1040 income tax return and will have to make sure and check the box that says they can be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayers income tax return and the child will get the 3650 exemption on the child's own income tax return. The number of exemptions will be -0- zero WHEN the 1040 income tax return is completely correctly.
