Right, but the cutoff is 6. 0-6 are all the same and 7-12 are the same. 0-6 are not *more* than half the year and 7-12 are all more than half the year which is what the tax law requires. Entering 6 months is exactally half the year so it is not *more* than half, so 6 is treated the same as 0.
(If the child lived with one parent for 183 days (6 months plus a day) then round up to the next month and enter 7 so that is is *more* than half).
