My son who lives with us, turned 18 last Feb 2022. Can I claim him as a dependent because he was still 17 at the start of 2022?

The dependant term, in the tax system, may have a different meaning for different credits. Please verify our TurboTax articles below to see if you qualify for the credit you are looking at.
