Question

multiple choice question
which of the following items does not constitute support when determining who provided the support for a child of the taxpayer who is a full - time student?

• allowances and gifts
• scholarships
• recreational activities and camps
• food and clothing

Explanation:

To determine support for a child (full - time student) for tax purposes, we analyze each option:

• Allowances and gifts: These can be a form of financial support for the child.
• Scholarships: Scholarships are generally for educational expenses and are not considered as support provided by the taxpayer for the purpose of determining who supports the child (they are for the student's education, not typical "support" in the tax - related support determination context for a child).
• Recreational activities and camps: Paying for these can be part of supporting the child.
• Food and clothing: Providing food and clothing is a basic form of support for a child.

Answer:

B. Scholarships
