Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That's what I thought, re:2020, that it was just under half the year. If he stays with us through July 2nd 2021, that would be the tipping point, I think, for 2021.  He was placed with us through the Department of Child and Family Services, we have a letter stating such as of 7/6/2020. He is officially in the foster system, we just aren't foster parents, something more akin to a family placement. I think we should qualify if he's here past that tipping point date this year since we are paying for all of his care with the exception of medical.  I tried to amend my 2020 return to answer the relevant questions through Turbo Tax but it says my return isn't eligible for an amendment at this time.
