Thanks!
Her tuition is paid in full through an academic scholarship. As for the rest of her support, she had taken out loans for her expenses, but due to Covid, her study abroad program was cancelled and she ended up paying for her rent at school, food, utilities, spending money, etc. out of the refund the school provided as well as her income. I only paid for her health insurance, car insurance, and cell phone bill in 2020.... I know it looks fishy because she would be eligible for the stimulus payment, but she legitimately paid for over half her support last year.
I believe for this purpose she is considered to have "lived with me" all year, since her college address is a temporary residence, even though she has an annual lease and was there most of the year.
I'm not sure that she will qualify as a dependent in 2021 anyway since she will use grad school loans to pay for everything besides insurance, which I will continue to pay, but wanted to know the options.
