I was deployed and my child lived w/my mom, but visited her dad for less than 2 months, how do I know the # of days she lived with me? I provided everything for her too.

Temporary absences by you or your daughter for special circumstances, such as school, vacation, business, medical care, military service, or detention in a juvenile facility, count as time the person lived with you.  If her visit was a vacation, she lived with you all 12 months.
