Hi .
I have a question, my son earned income is $24000 he is under 24 and full time student , he insists to file independently so I should not claim him on my tax return. on form 8863 asks : where you full-time student he marked yes and did your earned income exceeds half of your support he marked NO,
and last question on 8863 asks ; one of your parent alive he marked YES
do you think IRS forces him that should be claimed by me or it is not matter.
If he marked NO for support part he lose a $1000 as well. Also, this way does make any problem for scholarship or other grants which he will be receiving from his school?
thanks for help
