Q. How can we do this on our form so he doesn’t have pay in? 

A. That cannot be done.  He has to file that on his own tax return, Him owing tax is the correct outcome. 

 

But, there is a better outcome for the family.  He pays a little more tax, but you get (up to) $2500 from a tuition credit. See "loop hole" explanation above.
