We claim our daughter on our taxes. However, since she has scholarship that has to be reported as income from a 1098T, we have to file that 1098T on her return.

@Hal_Al this is ok even though the $2075 is listed on his itemized list by the university as room grant?

Yes.

For tax purposes, a room and board grant is not restricted to be counted for room and board,  unlike a  scholarship that was restricted to tuition.  It's an idiosyncrasy in the rules.
