Education

I apologiz for typos I have a hand tremor - thank you for your response. I sent a respone but wanted to add to it and had another question about his temporary living expenses 4700 for internship - I erad that can be put in w2 job expense section but I dont see it anwyerhe can you help me? I hope that I dont need a different version of turbotax?? 

REgarding your asnwer - thank you but here is some clarification

That is the issue - not sure. 

1)He is my child

He is only 22 so qulaifying child QC?

2) I am not sure how you calulate half of his support - the worksheet asks for housing expenses is too hard and he but he is not here more than 2 nights a year and I dont know about h is father. 

I do not undertand how scholarhip factors in - he made 10k in summer - if neither parent  provides him with support - he had large schlarhsip but still no parent provided half of his support - but you sayd schoalrhsip causes him to not pprovide half of his suppoort - i read other stuff on here about pub 501 and another similar quiestion but ewanting to know if daughter is depdnent - if what my son makes is in numerator and someone on turbotax mentioned that scholarhsips are not inlcuded in numeraotor or denominator - then if you ingore scholarhsip then my son does provide more than half his support....I cant remember where I aw the questions and had several confusing asnwers. 

3) where he resides: AS far as where he lives - obviously at college - and as I said in summer out of state supporting hismelf.  He usually spends breaks at college. the only time he ever comes home is on holiday - a day with me and a day with his father  - It is a difficult heartbreaking family situation - so his i snot a normal situation.   He only stays here 2 night a year xmas eve and another night. I do not now when he stays at his fathers as it is an adversarial situation and no communication. 

3) why do I want him independent - 

also besides me being single mom and disability and no need to write off anything - I dont even have to file - so that is unusual  realize most poeple want to claim their kids

as i said he may need to be indpendent to qulaify for state health insurance - i cant get an asnwer from them...and i jsut want to make sure it is ok for him to be indpendent in case that is required but want to do the correct thing on taxes. His father is on medicaid NJ and being dropped and so then is my son being dropped - his father told him to be independent and apply on his own - not sure if thats required by state health isnurance mdicaid - so complicated situation 

but you are saying that if nobody can claim his as dependent then he can be indpendent? 

If scholarhsip is ignored - then wooudnt that mean that my son does pay half his suppport since you dont count scholarhsip? Sooemone on turbotax on phone last apriol said becuase it was unsudally large should cvocunt s his  own support ! I file dextension but now I am behind the gun and was waiting for the father to give me infomation to help decidebut he didnt...

And I sent you another mesage about where to put his 4700 in temprary living expenses as someone wrote in about it and was told to put it in w2 income section under job expenses  but I do nto see that and now amafarid I got wrong turbtoax version - i have premier is is suppsoed to be home busines to do that? I have had cd version onmy pc so allt he tax versiosn would then have to be done over again if i ned that version right? Can you tell me where that would go on premier version as I cant find it and the question i think was from 2019
