You the parent report all educational stuff on your tax return.
" My son has 1099-MISC income totalling 2K"
Am I to assume that income was received by your son for self-employment? If so, then he is required to file a tax return since the self-employment income is more than $400. If not received for self-employment, *and* his SSN is on the 1099-MISC, he still reports it. But how he reports it matters based on what box of the 1099-MISC the income is reported in, and why he received that money. Scholarship I assume, but I'd like to not assume and know for sure.
