1098-T scholarship

[kmott2015]

My 1098-T includes my tuition for spring 2017 but not my scholarships for the spring. Should I add these in additional scholarships?

Just to clarify, do I do this even though the scholarship posted in January? i.e. Bills went out in December but the scholarship payment doesn't process until January.

If the scholarship amount is not being reported on Form 1098-T, you will report it under Other scholarships.  

You will first report the Form 1098-T the way how it is reported.  Then on the screen, Did You Receive a Scholarship or Grant in 2016? , enter amount under Other scholarships / grants / fellowships.  

See attached screenshot.

The key here is  did you pay any of the tuition on Form 1098-T out of pocket in 2016 ?

[kmott2015]

No.

Then you will follow the above instructions to show IRS you did have scholarship to cover the tuition amount on Form 1098-T.
