If it won't allow a "Yes", why is it an option? It should allow a "Yes" and then indicate that the child is therefore not qualified to be a dependent.
On his form if he answers that someone can claim him, but then answers that they won't, shouldn't it allow him to get any education credits since the parent is not claiming him or taking any credits?
Also, what is the status of transferred GI Bill benefits in regards to determinining whether he paid for more than half his expenses? He paid his tuition and living expenses with the benefits, so does that count as paying more than half his expenses, or do GI Bill benefits not count somehow? The IRS publications mention that scholarships and grants don't count, but it doesn't mention non-taxable GI Bill tuition and housing benefits.
Thanks
