Under the qualifying child age test, which statement is true?

The age test for a qualifying child has three parts. A child must be under 19 at year-end, or under 24 at year-end if they are a full-time student, or any age if they are disabled at any time during the year. This combination allows younger children to qualify, extends the limit for full-time students, and lets a disabled child qualify no matter their age. For example, a 23-year-old who is a full-time student still meets the age test, while a 25-year-old who isn’t a student does not. A permanently disabled child qualifies regardless of age. The other options only use a single age cutoff and miss the student and disability exceptions.
