FAQ
Tax Dependents Qualifying children include biological, step, adopted or foster children, siblings, nieces or nephews, or grandchildren. Children must be under 26 to be eligible for dependent coverage. Children must be under 19 (or 24 if a full-time student) to be claimed as Qualifying Child.
There are several ways to apply for child support services. Call (866) 901-3212 to request an application. An application will be mailed to you. Fax a request to receive an application to (408) 503-5570.
To qualify as a dependent, your partner must have lived with you for the entire calendar year and listed your home as their official residence for the full year. If your partner has gross income above a certain amount ($5,050 for tax year 2024), you can't claim that person as a dependent.
If you qualify, you can receive a refundable portion, known as the additional child tax credit, which is worth up to $1,700 per child. Some families can also receive monthly payments instead of waiting until tax time.
Your child must be under age 19 or, if a full-time student, under age 24. There's no age limit if your child is permanently and totally disabled.
While you cannot claim yourself as a dependent on your tax return, there are many other opportunities to claim dependents and reduce your tax liability.
Each state sets its own guidelines for what it defines as residency. It is true that you are considered a resident of California if you are in the state longer than 183 days (they are cumulative days, by the way, not consecutive), but the applicable “days rule” is more lenient in other states.
But did you know you can claim adult dependents as well? In general, an adult that you can claim as a dependent on your tax return is either a full-time student under the age of 24, a person who is permanently and totally disabled, or a parent that you support and/or care for.
Child Tax Credit Not eligible?? You've entered something wrong. Your child may be too old (over 16). Your income is too high. Your income is too low. You are the custodial parent and the non-custodial parent is claiming the dependent this year.
