Pell Grant, FSEOG Income on Tax Return

My spouse is full-time in college and received three grants in 2024 - the Pell, FSEOG, and CCPG (Californi Promise Grant). 

The school did not issue a 1098-T because the CCPG covered her tuition expenses. 

They have some educational qualified expenses, but less than the amount received from the Pell and FSEOG. Is this amount taxable for both grants? I have seen some information online suggesting that the FSEOG is not taxable and therefore this amount should not be included on the tax return but the Pell likely is and therefore should be included. 

 

I am looking for some clarification before filing. Thanks for any help.

Pell Grant, FSEOG Income on Tax Return

You say you  seen some information online suggesting that the FSEOG is not taxable. I can find no such info. But that may be academic.  It would only mean that qualified expenses must be allocated to the FSEOG grant before being allocated to the Pell Grant.  The Pell grant is definitely taxable, if not used for qualified expenses.
