I am having trouble with the educational expenses. I received money from a scholarship. However, all this money went directly to tuition. It is not letting me put in the tuition and is trying to say I owe a bunch of federal taxes because of it. How do I show the tuition as an expense?

You are not eligible for any education credit if all your qualified expenses were paid with scholarships. What are the amounts in box 1 and box 5 of your 1098-T? You should be able to enter these amounts directly into TurboTax in the 1098-T section. Are you saying you can't enter them? Are you claimed as a dependent by someone else?
