Form 8863, page 1, bottom page has "under age 24" questions. Question 2 ask "Did you earn income exceed one-half of your support?". If you answer No to the question the $1,000 Refundable Education credit does not flow to Form 1040. I checked Form 8863 and could not find any "under age 24" or "earned income must exceed support" requirements. Are these questions required? This is especially important in 2020 because many college students are claiming themselves in order to get $1,800 Recovery Rebate Credit and the $1,000 Education credit will bring credits to $2,800.
