    Hello, Chall69!

    That is a great question!

    You may be able to claim your granddaughter as your dependent, even if she's in college. If she is a full-time student, she can qualify as a qualifying child until she is age 24.

    To confirm that your granddaughter meets the other requirements to be claimed, you can use the IRS tool below:
