An eligible dependant varies based on the credit or deduction you want to claim. You should consider a person as your dependant in the following situations if there is a tuition transfer from your child or grandchild. The student can be over 18 and does not need to live with you.

 

For more information, read TurboTax FAQ: Who are Considered Dependants?

  2. How do I enter tuition transferred from my spouse/partner or child?
