The reality is that you had Education Expenses for the first school that exceeded Scholarships (50K Tuition, 30K Scholarship, is that correct?) , so you don't have taxable excess scholarship to report on you or your son's return.
However, reporting this in TurboTax so that you don't have Taxable Scholarship using the 1098-Ts won't work.
Since you didn't pay any Tuition to the school in 2019, the 1098-T is numerically correct, but doesn't reflect the actual situation.
The only workaround would be to enter the 1098-T and click the link under Box 1 'what if this is not what i paid to the school' and enter 30K for Tuition to offset the 15K Scholarship, but this is not correct, either.
There's no way to get this to easily show in TurboTax, that's why it is better to just not enter the 1098-T.
If you qualify for an Education Credit in 2019, it would based off his Education Expenses/Scholarships from the second school.
