Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Are the parents allowed to claim child as a dependent if they want the child to file their own return?

 

I read it as parents can either claim dependent and get the benefits/credits of that BUT have to include excess scholarship as taxable income

 

or

 

Parents DO NOT claim as dependent. Child has to select "can be claimed as dependent" on own return. And then file if necessary (earned income over the threshold)

 

Let me know!
