Deductions & credits

@NCperson which is why I had to ask the question on a different forum and got an answer that actually answered my “facts and circumstances” test question:

 

Those factors really only come into play if you owned more than one house and you were spending time staying in both of them, and it's a little fuzzy which is really your "primary" residence. If you aren't living in the new home, if you're only really living in the original one, then that's the only thing that matters, and there is no doubt that you qualify. The address change isn't a problem.


Assuming that's really where you're still living, I would keep whatever documentation you can to prove that if the IRS questions it (pictures, bills, etc.). If you've moved your stuff into the new house and you're spending time there and sleeping there, then I would be concerned and then you should look closely at those "facts and circumstances".
