Is the California Veterans Waiver of Fee considered a veteran benefit for the 1098-T? My scholarships amount included the fee waiver deduction.

[KrisD · Accepted solution]

Yes, although it is through the state of California, it is in alliance with the VA. The assistance should not be taxable, since it was applied to the tuition expense. The expense it paid cannot be used for a credit.
