Thanks @Hal_Al . For the side issue TT told me that I was ineligible for the lifetime learning credits and other income limited credits, but when I entered in the expenses and stuff it did lower my tax bill, but not that much. So, not really sure what kicked, in but TT did tell me to enter in the info anyway despite not being eligible for typical credits/deductions based on income.
Thanks for confirming that I don't need to enter in Form 8615 on my son's return. Not sure I totally understand your answer on why though. I get the part of adding the scholarships to his earned income to force me to file a return (which I was going to do anyway to recoup withheld taxes), but not sure I understand No Kiddie Tax decision. Are you saying that for Kiddie Tax purposes the scholarships are "earned" income and because he didn't really have any other significant unearned income his free and clear of the kiddie tax?
Thanks Again!
