If box 1 is correct (but as Rick said, you should check that), then the difference between Box 5 and Box 1 SHOULD be taxable.  Or are you saying it is taxing ALL of Box 5?

Did you check the box on the Student worksheet that he is working towards a degree?  And double check the general Info worksheet that you indicated that he can not be claimed as a dependent?
