Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to IRS guidelines, a child can be claimed as a dependent until they turn 19 or 24 if they are a full-time student. However, for a child to be claimed as a dependent, they must not provide more than half of their own support. As the 20-year-old son is working full-time and living in an apartment, he is likely providing more than half of his own support and cannot be claimed as a dependent. Both Paul's wife and children who meet the dependent criteria (under 19 or under 24 and a full-time student) can be claimed as exemptions.
