My son receives a 1098-t for his scholarship. Line 5 is greater than line 1 by over 25k. I understand that the 25k is taxable. I'm trying to find out what counts as him providing support for himself. Does the 25k he receives from his scholarship count as him providing support for himself? He is under 23 and a full time student. I've checked out Pub 501 and 970 and it still isn't clear to me if I can claim him as a dependent. He does live with me when not attending school. I do pay for all his expenses when he is home from school along with medical and other expenses.
