Does a person going to county jail for 2 days consider them an inmate?
No text available
No, the term "inmate" refers to someone who is 'living' (dwelling) in a prison, not someone who is temporarily being detained (as in a jail). For tax purposes, the IRS is mostly concerned with the fact that "inmates" are being supported (housing, medical, food) by the state for extended periods of time and should not be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
