I keep thinking about this.  When we fill our the support worksheet, etc. my client is meant to claim herself.  No one else can claim her.  So, the boxes on the information sheet are fine.  

However, and now I can't find it, I was asked about whether at least half of her support came from her "earned income."  I don't see how this should matter since she DID provide more than half of her support.  This year, she had a collection of resources including earned income, unemployment, unearned income through the sale of some mutual funds, and a small amount of student loans.  All these resources are her own.  I wish I could find where this question was asked.  I think it was in regard to the education credits.
