2014 Student Status on 1040 and scholarships

Post by DonMurphyCanada »

My son is a dual US and Canadian citizen living and going to an accredited University in Canada.

Two questions:

1) Can he claim "Student Status" on his 1040
2) This link http://taxhelp.org/resources/student/ talks a little about International Students. Is there a way to mitigate any scholarship money he received on his US taxes. I know it has to be claimed as other income but hopefully there is a way to reduce it.

Thanks

Don
