Should dependent College student submit 1098-t form?

[Mara251]

I claim my college aged son as a dependent. We also pay for his college. When he submits his wn taxes for his job-related income, should he include info from the 1098-t form and 1099-q form on his taxes?  Or just enter that info on my taxes since he's still my dependent?

If your son qualifies as a dependent on your return, you would report the 1098-T on your return, unless the scholarships/grants exceed the qualified education expenses, then the student will report the 1098-T and all other educational expenses and scholarships/grants on the student’s tax return. If the student is required to file a return to for any reason, and qualifies to be claimed as dependent on your return, the student will need to indicate on their return, that they can be claimed by someone else.
