1098-T box 1 amount shows combined payments for tuition and on-campus housing

[JMuldoon]

How should I handle this situation within Turbotax?  When entering the 1098-T form information in TurboTax, should I reduce the box 1 amount by substracting the payments made for on-campus housing?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, please select "This is not what I paid to the school" under Box 1 on the 1098-T input screen and enter the adjusted number reflecting tuition only. 

Later you may report the room and board if it relevant (to offset a 529 distribution for example).

You should report this error to the school.  You don't need to to file your taxes.

But that so wrong that it's hard to believe a school would make that kind of mistake.  There may be something else going on here.
