dependent? If file as single, can I still get the eduction credit? My filing
status is the head of household in 2007. Thanks for answering my question. | K**i

发帖数: 1454 | 3 Thank you. But I asked a person in the tax office, they told me I cannot
claim her as dependent thus to file as the head of household. I told them
the child is only visiting China. but he says one year is too long. Do you
have similar experience before and got different answer than mine?
Thanks! | s***e

发帖数: 89 | 6 So if a child, a US citizen, lived in China the whole year in 2008 with
grandparents, can we claim her as dependent for the medical reason? She has
severe food allergy indeed.
Thanks for your advice!
