IRS dependant child deductions

My wife is asking me about the US Federal tax dependent child stipulations -- i.e. what qualifies a person to be a dependent and what doesn't, including how much of that child's income is spent for tuition.. I am getting lost in all the details.

She's asking me about all these details because she's taking a course from city college on the IRS 1040 Federal Tax form.

Why does our tax system have to be !@#$% complicated?
