What is the name of your state? Michigan
My husband, who is divorced, is allowed to claim one of his children on his taxes. The daughter that he has been claiming just turned 18 in Feburary 2007. He was told he can't claim her on his 2006 taxes. Shouldn't he still be able to claim her for 2006, since she didn't turn 18 until 2007? We were told it's because of the tax year - April to April, but from everything I've read on the internet that doesn't sound correct. Thank you.
