I'm wondering if anyone can help clarify a question on the support topic. The state/county provides regular payments for our foster child. Should we count this towards the rule of "child provides 50% of their support?" In our case, those payments would definitely be more than 50% of what the child needs, so I'm hesitant to claim them as a dependent based on that. However, if those should not be counted, the "child" doesn't provide anything directly and would be a dependent.
