Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Marilyn:

But, as you will see from the last part of my original post, I am claiming (or trying to claim) the AOTC for 2019 also. My child continues to go to another college and has received a 1098-T from that new college.

 

This additional $15000 scholarship for 2019 from the first college for which the compensating expense was paid in 2018 is what's causing the problem.

 

That's why I was wondering if I should follow the example from the TT interview (quoted above) to get the AOTC for 2019 and add some taxable income for my child's federal tax for 2019.

 

PLEASE, if time permits, can you read my original post again.

 

Thanks very much.
