Yes, I pay those expenses, but they would have to add up to more than $46,000 per year to make her support less than 50%. I did the spreadsheet provided by the IRS last year, and I came up with about $25k in expenses, as I recall, but I haven’t done it for 2015. College room and board was the biggest expense, and that was about $13k and books and spending money during school was about $4000 additional. All the other imputed and shared stuff (summer rent, food, health insurance, vacation, airline tickets, clothing) would have to add up to more than $30,000 to get to more than 50%, and it’s not anywhere close to that.
