Hi, I had question for the Head of Household support test. Currently, my spouse has not live with me the last 1 1/2 years and I support my 3 kids. I currently live in our home that we bought 5 years ago. For the support test, I know that i need to pay at least more than 50% of the cost related to rent/mortgage interest payments, property taxes, property insurance, repairs, utilities, and groceries in order to meet this status. For the rent/mortgage payment, both me and my ex split this cost and some others costs.
The question I had is that for the the support test related to rent/mortgage payment, is both the principal and interest included in this cost calculation or is it just the interest portion that i need to include. Thank you
