Thank you again for that answer - it definitely clarified everything. I actually have one further question.
When I enter the 1098-T tuition payments on my return, should I just enter $4,000 (what I need to qualify for the AOC) not the $21,814 actual and reported by the college amount? Or should I enter the correct $21,814 amount in order to avoid any matching issues with the IRS and somehow deduct the $17,814 difference to avoid double-counting with my son's return? Thanks!
