On the son's return.

Taxable Scholarships and Fellowships Alimony and Other Income Screens 14; Codes 8,58

Enter the taxable portion of scholarships and fellowships not reported on Form W-2. The program includes this amount on the Wages line of Form 1040 and also includes a footnote for the item with the description "SCH."

Be aware that this is not considered earned income for Kiddie Tax purposes.
