Foster child depend support?
Foster child. Parent earns $30,000 and receives $12000 from the state for foster child support. Does parent still qualify as paying more than half the child support for dependency deduction?

If you read Pub 17 Table 3-1, the support test for a qualifying child is
4. The child must not have provided more than half of his or her
own support for the year.
In your case, the State is providing $12,000, not the child.
