Carl, thanks so much. I've ready your reply 3 times and am still processing all the info. A few follow-up questions:
1. I need to withdraw the cost of a semester meal plan from my son's 529 before 12/31, right?
2. ditto for 1/4 of the house utilities during the semester (gas, electricity, wifi, garbage, water) since my son shares the house with 3 other roomates.
3. Do I have some time to figure out whether I am going to charge my son rent? He has never filed a tax return before. He earned about 3K over the summer.
Thanks again.
