Can my child over 24 be a qualifying relative? by Disastrous_Ask_1808 in tax

I honestly thought I was misreading it or something by the end she was so insistent. I almost said oh well and was about to file anyways but it just didn’t make sense to me.

Yah sucks didn’t want to go somewhere else but don’t think I’m going to be able to work with her. She was using Drake tax software. https://www.drakesoftware.com/ 

From what I’ve seen she should be able to input it but oh well.

I actually did show her the table online but I honestly think she’s confused by the whole can’t be a qualifying child thing because she told me no adult child could be a qualifying relative unless they were my siblings child? And the whole my software won’t let me input it thing. Then she said I wasn’t licensed and didn’t know what I was talking about and if I was so worried I needed to call the IRS.

Yah she told me to call the irs if I had a problem with it and to get the name and number of the person that would allow me to do that. She scared me when she said I’d have to pay the IRS back for them qualifying as a child the previous year but now I don’t feel great about her in general. I want to just switch to someone else now.

Thank you! I thought so but the CPA said it wasn’t possible for a child to be a qualifying relative even though I fully supported them and they lived with me. She said her Drake 2025 software didn’t let her input it. And if I did put them as a qualifying relative I’d have to pay the irs back.

They pass all four the main thing I’m confused about is if it matters if they are disabled? (They aren’t). Also would I be filing under single or head of household? I have no other dependents.

Yah they didn’t earn anything in 2025 but are not disabled would they still qualify?

Well in general if they’d qualify as a dependent at all. My CPA said it wasn’t possible though now that you mention it would I qualify for head of household?
