Sounds like it's just going to come down to "Did the student provide more than half of his own support?"

Ironically, when you answer "no" to this question, not only do you get a worse tax result (kiddie tax), you are also subject to the extra due diligence requirements and an 8867 filing.

Kiddie Tax may apply even if the answer is "yes".  Kiddie Tax applies unless the student provided more than half of his own support with EARNED income.
