Deductions & credits

I don't see the education expenses subtracted out for costs of supporting the student. See IRS Worksheet for Determining Support.

 

Usually, the parents will claim the child and the credit. The student will not receive much education credit, up to $1,000 with no taxable income while the parents may receive up to $2,500. You are doing a very thorough job and understand the situation to know how best to help the student.
