How did you answer the question ''Did you support yourself in 2020?'' ? IRS regulations require special treatment for some taxpayers under age 24, see above. The full question reads Did you provide over half of your own support with earned income during 2020?
Support is generally defined as what you spend on a person's food, lodging, clothing, education (including the GI bill), medical and dental care (including insurance and supplementary Medicare premiums), recreation, transportation and similar necessities.
Earned Income is salaries, wages, professional fees, and other amounts you earn for work actually performed. This includes tips or any taxable scholarship/fellowship grants that were reported on Form W-2.
