Thank you for the response. I have read the publication thoroughly, and I understand WHY the form is being triggered. My question is: Is the support calculation used for the dependency rules different than the support test used for Form 8615? Based on what I have read it seems like they are different in that the dependent support test factors in the unemployment while the 8615 does not. If this is true then my client would be a non-dependent eligible for the stimulus, but still required to file form 8615. I cannot seem to find a place in the IRS publication that makes a CLEAR distinction between the two support tests outside of the phrasing used on the 8615.
