Deductions & credits

Sandy, 

 

A few follow-up questions if you don't mind:

  1. First of all, TurboTax only gives me 166 characters to explain the reason for the amendment. That isn't close to enough for what you told me to put. Did you just include the explanation on a separate sheet of paper?
  2. Did you include any evidence of the qualified expenditures?
  3. What pages did you send to the IRS? Just the X ones or everything that TurboTax gives you to print?
  4. Going forward, I have seen where many people and even TurboTax responders saying that you don't need to even report the 1099-Q or 1098-T on your taxes. Thoughts?
  5. If you do include them on your taxes and claim your college child as a dependent and then file a separate return for them, can they take any of the credits like the American Opportunity credit, or is that considered double-dipping?

Thanks in advance!
