| I have a client whose adult, disabled daughter was moved into a group facility (with medical care) during 2007. This means that my client cannot claim head of household or the dependency exemption (unless she provides more than 50% of her daughter's support). I think the state is paying more than 50%. We tried to prepare the client for this, but she is extremely frustrated.
Just in case I am missing something, is anyone aware of any special rules that would apply here? Thanks for your time! | |

| Sounds like you got it! So sad....too bad....we don't make the rules! | |

| Can she fall under 'temporary absence' rules?
Haven't researched, just thinking out loud. | |
