Hello,
I am trying to figure out if it is possible to apply some of the scholarships as income in order to claim the lifetime learning credit. For example, the lifetime learning credit's cap is $10,000 which gives a 20% or $2,000 credit. Can I report $10,000 of the scholarships/grants in box 5 of the 1098-T form as income in order to get this credit?
Thanks!
