Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Scholarships, Grants, and Fellowships do not count as the student suppling support. 

So, if a student lived off scholarships and money from their parents, their parents supported the student and may claim the student as their dependent. 

 

If the student selects "Yes, someone can claim me" but also "No, someone else will not claim me" the student will still be subject to Kiddie Tax. The advantage to this selection is that the student will then be eligible to claim the "Non-refundable" portion of an education credit if they meet the other requirements of the credit.
