Ask The Taxgirl: 17 Year Olds & Tax Rebates

ByKelly Phillips Erb

Taxpayer asks:

My daughter turned 17 on Christmas Day. Can we get the extra rebate for her?

Taxgirl says:

Sorry, no. To claim the child credit for the rebate, your child must be under the age of 17 as of the end of the tax year (December 31).

But what a cool birth date!
