Can you claim a child as a dependent even if that child files her own taxes?

If your child files a joint return with her spouse, you cannot claim her (unless neither spouse owes any taxes and the only reason for filing is to claim a refund).

To claim a child as a dependent on your taxes, the child must have lived with you and you must have provided support for over 50% of the year.
