Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Form 8863 is used to claim an Education Credit.  In Turbo Tax under the Deductions & Credits tab, under the Education section, Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T) section, as you go through the screens, you will be able to enter your additional expenses for Books and School Supplies.

 

Once you enter the info from Form 1098-T, the software will calculate your Out of Pocket expenses (Box 1 plus additional expenses minus the Box 5 scholarships) and calculate the Education Credit accordingly.  

 

If you think your Form 1098-T is not accurate, please contact your education institution and get a corrected form. 

 

Hope this helps!
