Wayne supported his daughter carol, age 21, until her marriage in august 2018. carol was a full-time student for 5 months of 2018. carol and her husband both had part time jobs and had federal income tax withheld. their total agi was $10,000 in 2018. can wayne claim carol as a dependent on his 2018 return?

No

Explanation:

Only children who have lived with parents for at least half of the year can be considered dependent. This is not the case with the question above.

As we can see from what was shown in the question, Carol only lived with her father for 5 months in 2018. Although her father wants to name her as a dependent in order to be able to pay a lower tax and thus save money, he cannot do that. For this to be possible, Carol should have lived with him for at least 6 months.
