Hal_Al- Thank you for all your answers. Despite us not qualifying for the AOC do I still enter the $4000 to generate form 8863 on my return? Do we bother mentioning the kids as students at all? You also suggest not entering anything about education on his return. Does that mean not even mention him as a student? Won't we have to enter something (on someones return) regarding the forms sent to the IRS like the 1098T and the 1099Q. Would his return be any different if I entered the expenses and associated college info on his return?
