Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Hal_Al,

I hope you're still active on this site!

Last year you helped me with my kids and my tax returns related to their 1098-T and 1099-Q.  You told me to put in $4000 for each child under Tuition only on the 1098-T to get the full $2500 education credit, which I did.  This year it is resulting in only $1065 education credit per child.  I can't figure out why or what I did wrong.  Could it be because my taxable income is significantly lower this year?

 

Also, TT has changed it's format somewhat this year and I no longer see the question as to "how much scholarship money you spent for room and board." so I couldn't input the scholarship amount my kids received in that spot like you told me last year.  

 

Thank you so much,

Erin
