It appears to only be related to a city return I filled out for a small portion of my income (the city doesn't even allow e-filing, atleast thats what turbotax says) but it appears to still put this on my state return portion since I did pay toward the city taxes and I'm owed a small return from that city.
Use the address for the school where you used the Grant funds.
It's in the same city I'm filing the return with and these are federal Pell Grants. I'm worried this is going to lead to a misinterpretation and have to pay when I've never had to file my Pell grants before with the city of going to school.
Also would I then use the Federal employer ID that is on my 1098 from the school and couldn't this then be interpreted as myself working as an actual employee for the school?
Yes, if you are going to school in certain cities, Grand Rapids MI is one, and you have a scholarship, the city taxes you on that scholarship. Yes, use the EIN of the school. It will not cause any issues. No, it will not look like you are working for the school.
