Thank you so much for replying! The18 year old is a college student.
I am seeing posts saying that even if they qualify as dependent, the parents don’t necessarily have to claim them as dependent.
Would it save more if the parents claim the student or to not claim?
If the unemployment of 31,000 counts as unearned income , that doesn’t affect the qualifications to be considered dependent does it?
Is it possible for the student to file their own return but still be claimed as a dependent?
would there be any benefits to not claiming them while they still file their own return?
sorry for more questions ! I’m still overwhelmed with all the different rules
