If I go back and amend 2019 taxes to apply the AOTC. and that brings my student's income from $316 earned income (so we did not file a return for her) to $316 earned plus $3000 unearned (scholarships applied to room and board) would I need to file a tax return for her for 2019 now?
Secondly, does it matter if the school credited the scholarships to her bill prior to my contribution? Tuition added to bill, room and board added to bill, scholarships credited to bill, then my contribution credited to bill. Do we still qualify for the AOTC?
