Thanks for clarifying that Opus 17. The point I was trying to make is that if say, $21K is spent on support for the year (including tuition) and more than half of that $21K is from scholarships, grants, 1099-Q funds and the like, then the student still did not provide more than 50% of their own support, regardless of the amount borrowed by the student, in the student's name. For
@cbricker2012 you can get the support worksheets if you like at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="
https://apps.irs.gov/app/vita/content/globalmedia/teacher/worksheet_for_determining_support_4012.pdf...> if you want to work them through just to be sure you're right. That way if you're ever audited on this, you can pull the worksheets to "show your work" so-to-speak, to the IRS.
