Agreed.  For the kiddie tax if he earned, the $8k, is more than half his support, what was spent in total, then he doesn’t qualify for the kiddie tax which is a good thing.

If I basically take his total expenses or support paid by all parties and subtract the scholarships then he did earn more than half of that difference.  So he earned more than half his total support if I calculate total paid expenses less total scholarship

He was basically able to live off his scholarship money, it paid for his rent, gas, food and entertainment expenses along with books. So his support excluding scholarship was only around $14k. Half of that is$7k and earned $8k

Does that seem right?  I will look ar the worksheet
