Hello calnash,
Yes, you can claim a dependent up to the age of 19 or if she's a student till she's 24.
That's as long as she doesn't provide more than half of her support.

Hello, calnash!
Zabostaxes is correct in that you may still be able to claim her as a dependent if she is a student and does not provide more than half of her own support. The easiest way to see if you can claim your daughter is by using the IRS tool below:
Even if you do claim her as a dependent, you won't report her income on your tax return. Instead, she would need to file her own return to report her income, if required. You can use the IRS tool below to determine if she needs to file a return:
Note, if she had any income tax withheld, even if she's not required to file a return, she may want to in order to receive the tax withheld back as a refund.
