The excess in box 5 was not earmarked but applied to room, board, student health insurance, student health center fees, and/or transportation. Parent also had self pay in addition to clear the qualified and nonqualified expenses reported on the semester account. There is no way to claim the self pay on the account unless increases income more. Parent also separately self paid the books and supplies. The dependent student did NOT receive schlolarship money back. If student only has taxable scholarships does 8615 have to be filed? No W-2 was issued for taxable scholarships. I thought it was strictly filed on line 1 of 1040EZ or line 7 of 1040A for STUDENT per publication 970. Do I as the parent claim this income on MY return also because Turbo Tax kicked out the university on mine but gave me AOTC for the self paid books.
