Deductions & credits

If you indicate in the interview that the child lived with you 7 to 12 months then you have met the requirement.  I suggest deleting the dependent totally and re-enter, reading the questions carefully.   Note that the support question does NOT ask if you supported the child, it asks if the child supported him/herself so the answer must be no.     Also, answer that you doe NOT have a custody agreement if that question comes up.
