@dosmom1234 Have you used the worksheet for determining support? (food, FMV of their bedroom in your home/how long at home/at school/medical premiums, gas, cell phone, etc. There's also a spreadsheet floating around the internet to plug numbers into.

https://apps.irs.gov/app/vita/content/globalmedia/teacher/worksheet_for_determining_support_4012.pdf...As for the education support: take the $26k total cost and subtract the $12k in scholarships since they are 3rd party support. That leaves you with $14k. Of that amount, how much was 529 (again is this parent- or student-provided support-my dilemma)? And how much was left over and who paid for it?
As for the support worksheet, you'll see that the beginning and ending balances of the student's account is used. So the fact that he earned $8k is irrelevant unless he also spent that $8k on education, gas, car payment, eating out, etc.
