Anna is a 21-year-old full-time college student (she plans on returning home at the end of the school year) . Her total support for the year was $34,000 (including $8,000 of tuition) . Anna covered $12,000 of her support costs out of her own pocket (from savings, she did not work) and she received an $8,000 scholarship that covered all of her tuition costs. Which of the following statements regarding who is allowed to claim Anna as an exemption is true?
A) Even if Anna's parents provided the remaining $14,000 of support for Anna ($34,000 minus $12,000 minus $8,000) , they would not be able to claim her as a dependent.
B) Even if Anna's grandparents provided the remaining $14,000 of support for Anna ($34,000 minus $12,000 minus $8,000) they would not be able to claim her as a dependent.
C) Because she provided more than half her own support, Anna may claim a personal exemption for herself.
D) None of these statements is truE.Anna does not qualify as a qualifying child or relative of her grandparents because she provided more than half her own support.As it relates to the grandparents, the scholarship earned by Anna is treated as support provided by Anna (Anna provided $20,000 and the grandparents provided $14,000 of support) .However, because Anna is a full-time college student under age 24, she qualifies as her parents' qualifying child (the scholarship does not count in the support test with respect to the parents) .So, Anna may not claim a personal exemption for herself.
