great thanks!

 

I, the parent, if choose to treat $3k of my student's grants as taxable income, to claim more AOTC in my tax return and my student does not need to file tax return based what you told me. if my son does not file a tax return,  I wonder how the IRS know these information between me and him, and know my son is not required to file a tax return?
