@LinaJ2020 - can you please evidence where the IRS states that the excess scholarship $$$ (the $1812) remains on the parent's tax return.
It's my understanding that TT is correct - that excess goes on the student's return. Otherwise, why is TT stating to this parent to put the $1812 on the student's tax return. Are you suggesting that TT has a bug?????
if the student is a dependent AND If Box 1 exceeds Box 5 on the 1098-T, the parent reports it; in all other cases the student reports it.
Sounds like in this case, when the son reports it, it won't create any tax due in any event @robjulbritton ..because the standard deduction will rise by the same amount. standard deduction is earned income + $350 OR $12,200 which ever is lower for a dependent. That $1812 is considered earned income.
