Deductions & credits

@GayleS03  the  requirement for "more than 50% support",  is generally interpreted as  more than 50% of the usual  & necessary  living  expenses of the person in question. 

Since you became a resident   ---  this would be  the day you were admitted  into the USA as a Resident  ( assuming that you had not been in the USA  ( for  any reason ) during the last two years    (  2021 and 2022 )..

 

So I would count your expenses  only from the  day you were admitted in to the USA.   Prior to that date  you were not a US person ( and for US purposes did not exist ).

 

That is my opinion .

 

Is there more I can do for you ?
