I was told that my daugher has to claim FAFSA money as education assistance income. Where on the return do we report that?

[kindrahornsby]

She has no other income so we are filing a return for her JUST to report this education assistance income.

Below you can find more information on reporting FAFSA.

Thank you!  However, that link does not explain WHERE to report the ed. assistance as income.  I've gone all the way through her return and we cannot find where to enter it.  There's otherwise no need for her to file a return

Try the following link and it should help you find where to enter the 1098T form at.

I entered the info from the 1098t form on my return.  I’m the mom, she’s my dependent.  After I entered the 1098t info on my return, I got a message saying that she would have to claim the excess aid as educational assistance income.  On HER return, I cannot find where to enter it.  She has no other income.

We started a return for her JUST for this purpose.  She has no w-2, etc.  Under the income tab, I could not see a way to enter this “income” except for Employer Educational Assistance.
