Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The 1098-T is only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your tax return.  

You claim the tuition credit, or report scholarship income, based on your own financial records, not the 1098-T. In the 1098-T screen, click on the link "What if this is not what I paid the school" underneath box 1.

 

 If neccessary, you can just change the numbers, when you enter the 1098-T. 

 

But, as others said, the TurboTax interview does allow you to add additional expenses .

 

To be a qualified educational expense, the course must be taken at an "eligible instituiton" (usually the nursing school).  For example, the CPR class would not be a qualified expense if taken at/paid to the Red Cross.
