I have a very similar situation (I hope it's ok for me to ask in this thread instead of starting a new one). My child had a summer research fellowship as an undergrad. I claim her as a dependent on my tax return. She got a 1099-MISC. By entering the fellowship amount in the education section as you suggested, TT put it in line 8r in schedule 1. But TT also put the amount of standard deduction to be fellowship amount +$450. Is that correct? I thought fellowship money is not considered earned income.
