He plans to move out and is working to earn enough to not have to rent a room elsewhere, but he may still decide to do this. He earns almost $13K per year currently. We file a 1099 NEC for him. He has filed his own return for two years now becuase of his summer and in-school self-employment earnings. Last year he earned $8K.
I suggest he move out before he misses the 'residence' test which would mean he would not live at home for more than half the year. He plans to move in with his brother over the summer. Perhaps this will help him pass that test. He has a lot of past savings (our gifts to him) that he uses to supplement his income to live off of.
Does this provide more info to help me determine what is best for him? I am not concerned about my tax benefit (is not much, so...).
Thank you!
