When claiming dependents they must meet the following criteria EXCEPT?

When claiming dependents, they must typically meet criteria such as being a qualifying child or qualifying relative, living with the taxpayer for more than half the year, and being financially supported by the taxpayer. However, one common misconception is that dependents must be under a certain age; while there are age limits for qualifying children, other criteria can apply to older dependents. Therefore, the exception could be that age alone does not disqualify someone from being claimed as a dependent if they meet other criteria.


How long can you claim your children as dependents?

There are two standards for claiming dependents. One is the "qualifying child" standard. A qualifying child must be under age 19 at the end of the year or under age 24 at the end of the year if he/she was a full-time student. There is no age limit if the child is permanently and totally disabled. If the child is too old to be a "qualifying child," the child can still be a "qualifying relative." There is no age limit to be a qualifying relative, but the requirements to be a qualifying relative are much tougher to meet. Please refer to Table 5 on page 11 of Publication 501: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf

When are your children no longer considered your military dependents?

Children are no longer considered military dependents when they reach the age of 21, unless they are enrolled in a full-time course of study at an institution of higher learning, in which case they may remain dependents until age 23. Additionally, if a child marries or becomes financially independent, they also lose dependent status. It's important to check specific branch regulations, as they may have variations in policies.
