Use the IRS worksheet below to determine if you provided more than 50% support for your son. The Lifetime Learning Credit will depend on whether you can claim him as a dependent.
He won't be able to claim the credit if you can claim him as a dependent. If he's not your dependent, then he will need to meet the other credit qualifications to claim it on his return.
