Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Unique situation trying to find an answer.  My son was enrolled in college for academic year 2018-2019.  We the parents claimed him as a dependent in 2018 and filed the 1098T (Box 1- $17,903 and Box 5- $13,250) and received the educational credits for that year. However, I did not support him in 2019 as he withdrew from his classes early spring semester of 2019, had a full time job, was no longer living with me and had a child in June 2019.  He is filing his own taxes for the first time for the year 2019 and we're wondering if he should file the 1098T information or should we the parents, as we made payments toward his tuition with a Parent Plus Loan. The amount of payments received in Box 1 for the 2019 1098T form exceeds box 2 by 8K.  Should this be on his returns or ours?  Thanking you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
