Lives in your home under a written agreement between you and a qualified organization (defined later) as part of a program of the organization to provide educational opportunities for the student,
-
Isn't your relative (defined later) or dependent (also defined later), and
-
Is a full-time student in the twelfth or any lower grade at a school in the United States.
You can deduct up to $50 a month for each full calendar month the student lives with you. Any month when conditions (1) through (3) are met for 15 or more days counts as a full month.
