Deductions & credits

Thanks.  Turbotax is saying that health insurance coverage is considered "support"....the child is still on my health insurance even now.

 

So I think the argument can be made that since  a) I assumed the child was coming back and had no indication otherwise until day 186 and b) all the childs "stuff" was still being stored in my home til 186 days, and the fact that to this day I am still paying health insurance for this child, the child was a dependent for more than "half a year".

 

I guess we will see how the IRS rules.
