The same holds true if you have a non- student working child who will still be under 19 by the end of the tax year. In either case, regardless of how much the child earns, the parent may claim an exemption, providing ol he has furnished over half the total — i cost of his child’s support for the year. This rule also applies in the case of legally adopted children. There is one important thing to keep in mind: A dependent child is also entitled to an exemption de- duction for himself on his own sep- arate return. On the other hand, if he is married, and files a joint re- turn with his wife, no dependency exemption may be claimed by the parent. R. P.
