Foster children can be claimed as dependents on your taxes if you meet certain criteria. To qualify, you must have provided the child with a primary residence for more than half the year and the child must be under the age of 19, or a full-time student under 24. Additionally, the child must not have filed a joint tax return for the year. It's important to consult the IRS guidelines or a tax professional for specific eligibility requirements.
