College Student

[S T]

I seemed to be plagued with the dependency rules this last week, so please forgive me for asking questions.

I have a taxpayer that has a son age - 22, working part-time made $ 6,650 and also enrolled in Community College. Taxpayer parent provides greater than half of the support for this "kid".

The college transcript for 2009 shows that he was only enrolled in 7 hours for the spring semester and 10 hrs for the Fall semester, and then 3 hours in Summer. Doesn't seem like I can qualify him as a full time student under Age 24 under QC

And due to income of $ 6,650 he won't meet the qualifications for QR

Anyway that I can qualify him as a dependent on the taxpayer's return?

Thanks

Sandy

Were any of the loans refunded? Wouldnt the parents still qualify for the lifetime learning credit, if payments or loans were made and he was considered enrolled in a qualified school? I am looking at page 12-4 TTB at the top.

Trying

to qualify the son as a dependent exemption for 2009

Son is going to community college, so not much in way of Ed costs or Tuition

The consensus seems to be 12 credits - maybe 4 classes.

Sandy,
I believe it is up to each individual school to determine what is considered full time status, not the federal regs. It can't hurt to call the school and ask.
