Do I include my son's scholarship money he received as income on my taxes?
I'm claiming him as a dependent. He doesn't have a job and he lived with us the entire year. We still support him. Also we took out money from a college account to pay his tuition along with the scholarship. Do I include that too? It is a 529 college plan.

Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, but not as income.
First enter the 1099-Q (for the 529 distribution) in:
Deductions & Credits > Education > ESA and 529 qualified tuition programs (from 1099-Q)
Then enter the qualified educational expenses:
Deductions & Credits > Education > Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
When you get to Here's Your Education Summary, scroll down and start Scholarships/Grants (for all schools)
This will offset your qualified educational expenses.
