My son was 24 in December 2017. He went to graduate school in town through August and had an apartment. He earned some money, but not much. I suppose when you add it up, he lived in our house about 50 days in 2017. In September he got a job out of state. Until then, he used our house as his legal residence.
We paid for his apartment and tuition. His apartment now is free (living on campus is a requirement of his job, and is free); so when you add everything up, I am sure we paid more than half his living costs.
So, is he our dependent for 2017? Did he live in our house (presumably less than 6 months)? If he is our dependent, does he have to pay kiddie tax? If he is our dependent, who gets credit for his tuition? If he is NOT our dependent, who gets credit for his tuition?
Thanks much.
