Question

1098T Question

I’m confused. Box 2 of my 1098T says my dependent son’s tuition is $47,000. Box 5 says scholarship is $33,000 which when subtracted exactly equals the $14,000 out of pocket amount I paid. I qualify completely for AOTC in every other way but when I click the button underneath to say I paid $14,000 it then says I don’t qualify. Should I not fill that in and just go by 1098T?

Q. Should I not fill that in and just go by 1098T?

A. Yes.

That box is for people who get an erroneous 1098-T. By entering $14,000, you tell TT that only $14,000 was paid by both you AND the scholarship.

You said you had $47,000 in box 2. I assume you meant box 1.

You are correct. Box 1 I meant. Thank you.
