My father's residence is in one state and I live in another. He has been with me since January because he was not able to care for himself. He has not agreed to sell his residence in his home state. We have not changed his mailing address or had the mail forwarded. We have some one that goes by to check on the house and the mail. We both use Turbo Tax to file. My question is: I know there is a question about residence (how long have you lived here during the year) and I'm not sure how to answer. Since he stills maintains the residence in his home state and receives mail there, do we say he lives there and is visiting me? His income is Social Security and a retirement. I will not claim him as dependent and he is not paying for staying with me. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you
