Description

For persons who have already filed federal taxes for the current year (FILEDYN) or who plan to file taxes for the current year (FILEWILL), and who have indicated that they plan to claim at least one dependent on their Federal tax return (FILEDEPYN), FILENODEPAWAY reports the number of dependents living outside of the Responding Unit.
