While I can’t say for certain that the same applies for Annapolis, we were advised by West Point that most likely we could NOT claim our daughter as a dependent last year. Even though she lived with us for 6 months before R Day, the operative word is “provided at least 50%” of her support. West Point estimated that they provided at least $33,000 worth of support to our daughter since R day. Unless we could document at least that amount for the first 6 months we had her at home----no deduction. I can’t remeber the specifics of the breakdown of the dollar amount. We were also advised to keep her on our family insurance if possible.
