Thanks. I studied all of your comments — very helpful. It appears that I can include his income on my return (and not file one for him). I will double-check this — but because the scholarship is not counted as “unearned income” to only determine if he can be included on my return or file his own, his “unearned” income is below the threshhold I think. We double-checked the student portal — and No, the college insists that they do not issue 1098-Ts if "scholarship exceeds costs.” — so I entered it all manually (from the bills).
