2008 tax rebate ($300 child)?

i have 2 dependents listed on my tax return, besides my wife and i. that%26#039;s a total of 4 exemptions. the 2 dependents are a 17 year old high school senior and a 19 year old college soph.

they are to old now to claim as a child credit for 2008. but since both are enrolled in school i get them as a dependent deduction. is the child rebate tied to the dependent deduction or the child credit on the 2008 form?

The rebate is provided only for dependent children under 17. It is not tied to the child credit.

You will not get the credit for the college student.
