You count the nights they actually stayed with you as time with you. Also you can count the days (months) the child or dependent lived away from you towards the total time with you as long as it was for:
- Illness or other medical care
- Education (student living at school)
- Away on business
- Vacation
- Military service
- Detention in a juvenile facility
As long as the number of days with you is over 184, then in TurboTax you would select at least 7 months as time with you in the US.
