Q. If student graduated high school in May and is now part time student in college, does student still qualify as full time for 2025? A. Yes. High school counts for the 5 month  full time student rule dependent.    There are two types of dependents, "Qualifying Children"(QC) and Other ("Qualifying Relative" in IRS parlance even though they don't have to actually be related). There is no income limit for a QC but there is an age limit, student status, a relationship test and residence test. A child of a taxpayer can still be a “Qualifying Child” (QC) dependent, regardless of his/her income, if: He is under age 19, or under 24 if a full time student for at least 5 months of the year, or is totally & permanently disabled He did not provide more than 1/2 his own support. Scholarships are excluded from the support calculation He lived with the parent (including temporary absences such as away at school) for more than half the year If you are looking to claim the American Opportunity Credit for his part time college,  the student must be enrolled at least half-time for at least one academic period (semester, trimester, quarter etc.) during the tax year.  For the less generous Lifetime Learning Credit, any amount of attendance qualifies.

You will have to inquire with the financial institution that handles the account to verify whether the IRA is a SEP IRA or Simple. SEP IRA means only the employer can contribute to the plan and Simple IRA means that both the employer and employee can contribute to the plan.

I'm not sure this is correct. See below:   https://gothamist.com/news/you-should-report-gov-hochuls-inflation-refund-checks-on-your-taxes   "State officials confirmed to Gothamist that the checks, which will start arriving this week, are subject to federal income tax. Federal charges won’t be deducted from the face value of the rebate checks, so it will be up to New Yorkers to report the rebates on their 2025 income tax returns when they’re filed next year."

You can't enter those expenses yet. This is a known glitch in TurboTax (TT). They are working on it (no announced fix date).   The 2025 education and 529 sections appear totally redesigned, from last year.
