Tom- Home Improvement Tax Question

[Conoad]

I claimed my foster child August - December on the food program. We aren't able to claim her as a dependent on our taxes due to her not being here for 6+ months. I know if we claim our own children on the food program, we don't report that as income. (We don't claim our bio children.)
Do I claim the food program income for my foster child?
Thank you to anyone who can help.

You do not report the food program income for your foster child. You also cannot report any food expenses for your foster child.
