Q. Then I compare that to line 20. If line 20 is greater than line 2, then we meet the support test.  Is this correct?

A. Yes, but your $8400 is probably not correct for line 2 as it only includes food & rent for 6 months.  Don't forget utilities, other household expenses, insurance, clothing,  education,  medical, transportation,  entertainment and recreation.
