Was deployed to Afghanistan from MAR2016 to NOV2016. Wife and child lived in US for all of 2016, and my family and I are permanently stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado since AUG2015. I don't want to give any wrong information that determines whether or not I receive the EIC.

 Military service is considered a temporary absence, so you say Yes, you lived in the US during that time.
