Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Q.  So the computation would be $13, 279 scholarships + $19, 249.26 wages = $32, 528.26 - $14, 600 standard deduction = $17,928.26 taxable income x 12% = $2,151.39 tax.   Does that change anything?

A. No. It's still  only the $4000,  of the scholarship ,that gets taxed to give you the AOTC.  The rest was going to be taxed anyway.
