Deductions & credits

Lines 1 - 5 are the funds belonging to the person you supported.  Line 1 is  total funds belonging to the person you supported, and Line 2 is the amount from Line 1 that your parent used to support himself.  Sometimes a parent can have income, but place some in savings and not use for support.  That would make his support be less.  You compare only the amount of funds he used for his support, to the funds you used for his support.
