The 1098-T is only
any informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered
onto your tax return. However receipt of a 1098-T frequently means you are
either eligible for a tuition credit or deduction or possibly your student has
taxable scholarship income.
If you claim the
tuition credit, you do need to report that you got one (the TurboTax interview
will handle this)
You
claim the tuition credit, or report scholarship income, based on your own
financial records, not the 1098-T. In
the 1098-T screen, click on the link "What if this is not what I paid the
school" underneath box 2.
You will then be able to enter the actual amounts paid.
