Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Thank you! That makes complete sense. I’m quickly learning that my confusion is the interpretation of the following sentence that I keep reading:
“ if they are a full time student and did not provide more than half their own support.”
What is defined as “support”. For example, my son made a lot of money (for a kid) but had $0 in expenses. He was clothed, fed, car insurance paid, etc by my ex wife and myself. So, he didn’t “support” himself at all. He earned more than half of the support needed to raise/house himself, but he didn’t actually spend/pay to support himself. He also made more than half of the child support that I paid (if that is the support they are referring to). Do you know the interpretation of “support”? I truly appreciate your time and knowledge.
