Well she made 11k.
I am hesitant to add this to her return because I have never done so in the past. Further I have never put down room and board for living at home. I would think that would be well in excess of $4,000? I mean the college is charginge 12k to live there. I think I might just leave everything as is and put a note in my records that I did not claim room and board and if something happens down the road I guess I could bring that up. ... And hopefully it would offset any issues that arise?
I could also delete all education stuff and start over... I do not recall TurboTax telling me I had to enter anything on my daughter's form. I just noticed it said $2,200 was taxable to the recipient so I assumed it should go in there somewhere on her return...I guess another option could be to do a dummy tax return for her and perhaps add the $2,200 to her overall wages and see if it would make a difference anyway? Thoughts? It seems to be far more complicated than necessary!
