Per taxpayer, child lived at home 8 months.  Assuming they didn’t wash out of basic, that means child is reporting in September.  It’s entirely possible that the child was a high school senior until May, or a college freshman who completed one year ending in May, then decided to enlist instead of taking on a lot of student loan debt.  If a full time student, the parent then has to move to the support test.
