Question

Paying child support doesn't count as support of a child, does it?

It is asking if I support a child (mine) but doesn't say if they mean child support or actually raising my child in my home. So what do I put?

Yes, you contribute to support, however, the context of asking the question is to determine if you have a dependent. The custodial parent has the right to claim dependency and has to give up that right for you to claim the child. If you are not claiming a dependent, you can answer no.

Thank you for responding.  I did finally figure that out and that, that was what it was asking.
