I am currently still in college and realized I could add in my previous 1098-T forms in hopes of receiving a tax credit/break. The money I entered was paid for tuition as well as combined with loans that were used on books and materials, fees, etc. I was hoping the amending process would be simple, as that was all I wanted to change, I didn't want/or intend to make changes to my federal and state taxes, however, I think TurboTax is under the assumption that the money I entered was Gross Income, and I now have to pay $71 to the state of VA and $161 to the state of MD. I'm not a tax guru but can someone explain how this is possible or allowed? How does adding the expenses I paid for tuition and scholarships/grants I received suddenly require me to pay more money to MD and VA?
