My dependent daughter was away @ college most of the year. How do I answer "did she live with me for the whole year"?

She is still considered as living with you full time if you are paying for the eduction/lodging.

From IRS Publication 501:

Temporary absences.

You and your qualifying person are considered to live together even if one or both of you are temporarily absent from your home due to special circumstances such as illness, education, business, vacation, military service, or detention in a juvenile facility. It must be reasonable to assume the absent person will return to the home after the temporary absence. You must continue to keep up the home during the absence.
