My single daughter is a 27 year old medical student living away in own apartment (0 months living at home) Earned income less than $4,700 and all living expenses paid for by me (father). All US citizens.
0 is entered in Number of Months Living At Home and software indicates she qualifies as a dependent. Is this accurate? When I went back to review 0 months was changed to 6 months.
