If I answer ( within my son’s return) someone else can claim you on their return (his dad and I), but no one will claim you and answer “no” to “my earned income provided less than half my support” TurboTax gives him the refundable portion of American Opportunity Credit. I don’t think this is right. His dad and I are willing to give him up as a dependent if he is eligible for the credit because it increases his refund more than it increases our payment due. I don’t want to have him file incorrectly.
