Hi Carl,
Thanks for the additional info! Option 2 doesn't apply but Option 1 looks like it may be good news for us being able to deduct her medical bills we paid for. Her earned income, all W-2, was $7800, not enough to pay for more than half her support. In addition, 3rd party income exceeded that since the school scholarship was $8500, another grant was $3500, and there was the 529 money from grandpa. What we spent on her basic living expenses (housing, utilities, food, transportation, auto insurance, cell phone, clothes, recreation, etc.), but not counting medical was more than her SSDI plus her income. Adding in the medical bills we paid for her may put the total support we provided higher than her combined earned and 3rd party (SSDI, scholarship, grant, and 529), income but not sure yet. But it sounds like that doesn't matter . . . ?
Thank you again for this great information.
