Money Worksheet

Does money I give to my daughter count toward support?

I have a 28 yo daughter who is trying to find employment as an attorney. She has no income and lives at home with me. I am running the tests to determine if I can claim her as a dependent on my income taxes. I give her 75 dollars every two weeks to help her with her expenses. Do I count that money as hers or do I count it as other support that I provide? The purpose for this is to complete the support test worksheet in the tax packet for 2009.

1. its depend if she is not earning and u gonna go to help her then might be support if u just giving her as gift then not support. any way best solution just give to her as gift!
2. Count it as support that you provide.
3. Yes it counts as support. But if she is not contributing to household expenses, you support her anyway.
