You will not enter this income in the education section. Instead you will enter it as other income by selecting the following:
- Federal
- Income and Expenses
- Scroll down to Other Common Income and click Show More
- Start next to 1099 Misc
- Enter the information from the 1099-Misc
- In Do any of these uncommon situations apply, select this was prize winnings (No, its not prize winnings but it will put the income on line 8i where it belongs, this is just to tell TurboTax where to route it)
- Enter 0 in the drop down for FMV of prizes
Any money spent on room, board, and food is not a deductible expense so there is no need to account for it.
How old are you? Are you claimed as a dependent on someone else's return? If you are over 23 and are not a dependent on another persons return, then you can enter your 1098-T on your return and claim an education credit.
