Any scholarship income not used for tuition, books, etc is considered taxable wage income. Scholarship income is a hybrid of earned income and unearned income.
- Earned income for purposes of the filing requirement - Single $12,950
- Earned income for the dependent standard deduction is earned income + $400
- Unearned income for purposes of the kiddie tax and other

If all of it was used on qualified expenses, you need to return to the student section and correct your entries. Chances are you received additional income for living expenses and that is taxable wage income to federal, state, and city.
