lived with mother/step Dad the entire year. Daughter paid all costs for kids including child care, medical etc (she works full time.) She paid very little for rent(if anything). Mom and Step Dad do not care about depedency deduction. I should have no problem with EIC for daughter living at home? How about HOH? What would she have to show for providing the home??? Cooking for everyone count????

Value of services
>>What would she have to show for providing the home? Cooking for everyone count?<<
Value of services doesn't count for HoH, only actual cash payments. The most common categories are mortgage (principle AND interest), home repairs (including capital improvements), cleaning and maintenance, property taxes and assessements, homeowner and road association fees, utilities, cable and phone, and food. These are calculated for the full 12 months even if the taxpayer and kids were only living there a part of the year.
