Hi.

I am trying to select 0 for the number of months my son lived with me and keeps defaulting to 6. Is this an issue, or is there no difference between using 6 or 0?

Why are you choosing "zero"? If your dependent is a newborn, you are supposed to say they lived with you the whole year. If the dependent is a student who lived away at school, you are supposed to say they lived with you--living away at school is a temporary absence -- so you say they lived with you.

My son moved out of country and doesn’t live home anymore. Perhaps I need to remove him as a family member from my taxes. I left him there thinking the software would figure that out.

If you are not claiming your son as a dependent then go to My Info and delete his information.

Your question began with referring to a "dependent". You have provided no information about your son. We do not know his age, whether he is a full-time student somewhere (even overseas), if he has income of his own, etc. etc. etc. We could be more helpful if you would provide some information.
