In trying to determine support for purposes of claiming a dependent, travel costs associated with calculating the cost of support can be included if the travel is necessary for the support of the dependent. For example, travel to school or related activities could be considered. Mileage logs would need to be kept and generally the standard mileage rate for the applicable tax year would be applied. For additional information on the dependency tests, review the Dependent information beginning on page 10 of Publication 501.
