How do you determine if full-time student? 1098-T says at least part-time. He was enrolled in college 12-15 hours a semester for each semester?
He was enrolled in 12-15 hours college for both Fall and Spring semesters. The 1098-T states he was at least a part time student. However TurboTax asks if he was a full-time student, how do I answer this?
My son is 23 years old and worked over the summer earning $10,800. Does he need to file a tax return? I provided more than half of his support.

Does this count if a child is full time in high school?

No. High School is not "higher education" for IRS purposes.

If you are at least part does that mean you can check yes for full time student

Yes. THings are worded in the program so as to match the wording on whatever IRS pub that section of the program is asking about. If you are "at least" or "More" than half-time, then you qualify for the same things a truly "full time" student does.

If the box that they are at least part-time students and he has that many hours per semester, then he is considered a full-time student.
