As DavidD66 explained "occupation" has no effect on your son's tax refund or tax due. "Occupation" as entered in My Info is only used for statistical purposes by the IRS. It does not really matter what you put. But if he is a student, he can say he is a student in order to get education credits. As a grad student he may be able to take advantage of the Lifetime Learning Credit. Not sure.....because the LLC only reduces your tax liability, and we do not know how much he actually earned---you did not say. We do not know if he has a tax liability. We only know he worked for Americorps and then had a part time job in school.
