If my children live at home, have income, and filing their own tax return, should I still claim them as a dependant?

You might still need to enter them as dependants, depending on your situation. If they are going to college or university and have tuition that they can transfer to you, then you would need to list them as your dependants. You might also want to include them as dependants they are disabled or infirm and you are claiming credits or transfers related to those conditions.
