The 2020 NYS tax software does not calculate the tuition credit properly.
If the scholarship $ in Box 5 on form 1098 T, is higher than Box 1 amounts, the program still calculates a credit on the tax return.
This is not correct.
My 2020 program did this and it resulted in an audit letter from NYS, a $ adjustment and a penalty.
This error may also exist on 2021 and 2022 NYS tax software.
Please advise.
