Look in the printed IRS tax booklet that corresponds with whatever tax form you are filing and you will see a page in there that shows the requirements for claiming dependency of a person.

Yes, you can claim her as a dependent. She lived in your home all year long and earned less than 3500.00. If she was still in high school and graduated in May of 2008, you also may be eligible for earned income credit for her, if your income falls in the EIC range.
