CSS Profile question on # of exemptions

Paying for College

<p>I have a quick CSS Profile question. I claimed an exemption for S on my tax return. On S’s 1040EZ, question #5 asks “if someone can claim you as a dependent, check the box”, which I did.</p>

<p>I’m going through the Student Information section of the CSS Profile now and it asks:</p>

<p>“Enter your total number of exemptions for 2011. If you checked either the "you" or the "spouse" box on line 5 of your 1040EZ, use line F of the worksheet to determine the number of exemptions ($3,700 equals one exemption). If you didn't check either box, enter "1" if single or "2" if married.</p>

<p>So, I’m guessing that I enter “0” right – I don’t enter an exemption for S on the student information section, because I claimed an exemption for him on my return, right?</p>
