Terry, you got a laugh out of me, with question #3. I feel your pain.
#1 No dependency. He is not under age 24 and made over $3,650.
#2 Whose name are the bonds in; if the parents, the interest is not exempt except for themselves or dependents; and apparently he is not a dependent.
No matter what, it shoud not have any effect on the tuition credit.
#3 Relatives or relatives of relatives seem to be the biggest thorns.
Am glad you made me laugh, because we had snow on the ground this AM. I am NOT ready for that. 6 pm is not late to receive a call when you work from home. I had one Sunday night at 9:30.....I let the answering machine take it. :dunno:
