Looking at 8863 and the question about whether earned income is less than half of total support, I want to make sure she does not include costs in support that should not be there. The higher the support the less likely her earned income will be more than half of her total support. Is the cost of car the car she purchased in 2018 included in total support? I thought it was, but I posted that specific question and it was answered by someone saying that the cost of the car is not included in total support. It was a $15,000 purchase, so it would be a significant contribution to calculating total support if it has to be included.
