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.

I consider this a bug. I have just imported from last year and it's taking me through the interview process. In the past, it asked who your dependents were, but it didn't do that this year. If it's not going to do that, it should allow you to select 0 and remove the dependent.
