Is it legal to carry a child as a dependent even if they pay all their own expenses?
If they live in your house, legally yes you can claim them. You can also claim a student in college as a dependent up to 21 years of age. So even if your student is paying their entire way, legally they can still be someone's dependent. When the child files their tax returns, they have to put that someone claims them as a dependent, or the IRS may look at why the guardian is also claiming them as a dependent.

Student Tip: Figure Out Your Filing Status?
When filing the tax return form 1040, students will need to make a bit of an effort to determine what their filing status will be. This can mean that a student has to discuss a parent's financial situation with him or her. A lot of parents do not enjoy discussing finances with children in the family. However, a student must figure out if a parent is entitled to claim him or her as a dependent. If a parent covers more than 50% of a student's expenses in school, then that parent is entitled to claim the child as a dependent.
