Hi,

  I have another kiddie tax question.  Client has about $2,500 in w2,  $11k in Unemployment. Full-time student- Full Scholarship age 22.  No education credits available.  8615 is calculating. Is there anything  against the tax laws to have client claim himself and get the $1800 stimulus check  (less minimal kiddie tax) versus the $500 parent additional child credit parents would get if claiming him?  Could make argument that he is supporting himself based on total income, but even if he wasn't supporting himself could he still claim himself if parents  were not or did not want to? Thanks!
