Wow - thanks for all the quick responses! Sounds like No for Qualifying Child, but Yes for Qualifying Relative. BUT: What if I do NOT want to claim him as a dependent? There are several reasons I am looking at, including health insurance - which I think would not matter if a QR - and for pulling money out of 529 plan (so not taxed at parent's rate). Does the "Can someone claim you as a dependent" on his return HAVE to be answered Yes if he would fit as QR?
