So I had read that we could do our taxes both ways, either us claiming my college aged child or her claiming herself, to see which would be most financially beneficial. She has a huge amount of scholarships so we thought it might be better for her to claim herself this year. Am I understanding that we cannot do that? We do not qualify for educational credits because her scholarships pay for much more more than just tuition, fees and books. She needs the best deal because she is still paying about $5000 of her room and board and only works randomly.
