Need more info to answer properly, but if I understand what you're asking: Income that is not subject to income taxes (tax exempt investments, inheritance income from an estate, life insurance proceeds, etc) can certainly be considered income to support oneself - (IE If someone asks how you support yourself when you have no job... you may have income sources that are tax exempt that provide you with enough income to live a very comfortable lifestyle.) If you're asking for purposes of support as in child support or spousal support - then I believe that is negotiable prior to settlement of the divorce / child support case. If you're asking if tax exempt income qualifies as income for a dependecy exeption, then the answer is yes. So long as the income is enough to cover 50% of the expenses to maintain the household / provide for the child, etc.

Probably because the rules for the section 8 housing program requires you to report the child support payment as a part of your income when it is received. For income tax purposes on your federal income tax return child support is NOT TAXABLE income that you would report on your 1040 tax form.
