Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It does look like IRS' fault. Instruction on Box1 is "payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses from all sources". The college didn't receive payments for the grants from anyone. It basically provided a discount on the tuition. Turbotax is also correct because the instruction also reads "The amount reported is not reduced by scholarships and grants reported in box 5."
