@Hal_Al Thanks so much for your help!
Now for the same question for me as parents joint return
It asked was any of your financial aid already included as income,
when 1098-T is full amount $6750
I have to enter Yes
Yes, I had scholarship or other aid reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099-MISC
I answered yes and entered the $5000 as how much of box 5 was already reported as W-2 or 1099-MISC, now I get the most refund. But since I did not have 1099-MISC and the 1099-NEC was for my daughter, I need an different way,
So I tested lower the box 5 in 1098-T to 4,325 (took away what was split to my daughter return1098-T, as we discussed earlier) now I can just answer No to the question(was any of your financial aid already included as income) and I still get the max refund. I like this option better.
