I am unsure about whether to enter my son's scholarship amounts on his income tax or under mine. It is on his statement from Greensboro college Form 1098-T in box 5.

His total income is 3635 from wages. Fulltime student. Never filed taxes before but will this year.

If you will be claiming him as a dependent on your return, then report the 1098-T on your tax return (not his). See below.
