Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are correct.  As a resident, you do not need to file form 8843.  

 

The 1098-T is for education credits.  If the scholarship income is less than your tuition, then you or your parents (depending on your age and if they are filing as US Residents) may be eligible for an education credit.

 

If the scholarship is more than your tuition, then yes, that does become taxable income.

 

You do not need to do anything with your 1095-B.  Only a 1095-A is entered on your return. 

 

If you have no income, you do not need to file a return, unless your scholarship income becomes taxable income.
