On dependents and family living abroad

  • April 3, 2022

Hi,

Our family lives and works in MA. During 2021, we traveled abroad (with no fixed address)  and worked remotely between August to December 2021.  Our home is rented while we're abroad and we will return to it mid-2022.

We have 2 dependents living with us for the entire 12 months of the year.  TurboTax asks about the number of months dependents lived with us (12 months) and then asks: "How many of those months were in the U.S.?"

Am I correct to assume I should respond 7 months (e.g., we were in the USA jan-july)? 

Thank you!

    No, you should respond with 12 months, not 7.  It was not your intent to establish a residency outside the US you were just on extended travel.
