Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Amy, thanks for your reply and I did look at your other article as well.

 

I'm not sure I understand the phrase "The expenses go on the same return as the student. Your dependent, you claim the expenses."

 

Are you saying the scholarship money is counted against my son as income on his return, but the tuition expenses would be declared on my tax return?  In which case a portion of the 1098-T gets reported on both our returns.

 

Of course I'm going to re-imburse our son for any amount he has to pay back.  I just want to keep our returns as simple as possible and not split up the amounts.

 

Sincerely,

Scott Moyer
