Hello everyone, 

I reached out a week or so about a client who didn't qualify (as near as I could tell) for the AOC as her scholarship covered all of her qualified expenses and created income besides. The college student also hustled and made an additional 25k on top of the 2100 additional income from the scholarship. 

I've explained to her why she now owes $364 to the federal government between not getting the AOC, as well as two employers who withheld zero or nothing for federal withholdings. 

Now her Mother wants to come in to pick up her taxes to review them. 

Of course, it is a small town, and everyone knows everyone, but any professional advice on how to handle that is appreciated. The college student daughter is on-board, but I feel like she should be here too, so that the return could be reviewed together. And no, she can't take the taxes out of the office to review them. 

Always appreciate the insight of the community! 

Dawn
