@BruceBG The user who posted about the college student who did not mark that he could be claimed as a dependent has a problem that is VERY common to parents who have teenagers and students who are filing their first tax returns. We see it very frequently. The solution to the problem is to have the student amend, and for the parent to file by mail. Your suggestion to "leave it alone" suggests to a parent who has education credits at stake to just give up on getting an education credit that could be worth several thousand dollars to the parent.
