Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

The software tells me to claim some of my daughter's 1098-T (scholarship) as income on her taxes, but I can't find where to enter it as income.

My question is how to enter this as income in the software. Thanks!

While you are preparing her Tax Return you must indicate two items: 

  • She is your dependent
  • and you must enter the information from 1098-T

This will then create the Taxable Income that she must report from Grants and/or Scholarships. If she received money that is not reflected in 1098-T please follow the steps below to enter these Scholarships:

  1. Log into your TurboTax account and access your current return
  2. From the Welcome Screen find and click on Federal Taxes then below find and click on Deductions and Credits and the select I'll choose what I work on 
  3. Scrolls down to the Education Section and click on Visit All
  4. Walk through and re-confirm the questions you may have already answered in this section until you get to the    Your Education Expenses Summary page 
  5. On this page click Edit next to the student's name 
  6. In the next screen you will scroll down and click on Edit to the Scholarships/Grants section
  7. Here you will enter this stipend in Other Scholarships/Grants Box
