I did a test and it does seem more complicated than last year, but still basically the same. Since you do not have a 1098-T, you still need to add yourself as a student and enter all the other information as if you are about to enter a 1098-T, but you'll say you don't have one and that you don't have an exception.
Then you continue.
A screen will ask if you have a scholarship, fellowship or grant to declare, you say yes. Enter the amount, answer more questions and it is listed as "Scholarship" on line 1.
"Be sure to enter it separately, in the Education section, but not on the 1098-T screen.
Click Federal on the left side-bar
Click Deduction & Credits along the top
Scroll down to the Education Section (Click “Show All" if needed)
Click Start or Revisit next to “Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)"
Even if you don't have a 1098-T to enter, continue as if you will.
You will get to a screen where you finally say you don't have a 1098-T and you don't have an exception
The program will ask for additional expenses
Next, the program asks for Scholarships and Grants
Answer "Yes" and Scroll down and Enter the scholarship amount in the proper box and Continue
Answer the questions carefully
The scholarship will be reported on line 1 of the 1040"
