@TurboTaxChristinaS just to confirm why is excess scholarship not considered unearned income that can be filed on parents returns? Thanks. You pointed out that it was unearned income so wouldn't it then have to be reported if over $2,100 on a return? Also what if the excess is not scholarships but excess 529 distributions is it unearned income then and does it follow same rules?
