Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks! 

1098 T

Box 1= 12,895

Box 5= 16,912

 

Entering on ours:

Box 1= $4k

Box 2= 0

 

Entering on dependent students:

Box 1= 8,895

Box 5= 16,912

 

So need to decide how much of the 8,017 to enter went toward room and board. Actual amount was $5,667. What are advantages to saying all $8,017 versus just entering the actual room and board? He has income from job in fall and trying to avoid too much tax liability to him after first $2700 of the $8017. Not like past years when just a student and wasn't working much so having taxable income didn't really affect him. Thanks again for help!!
