I am very confused by all of this Line 17 and Line 18 on the Student worksheet. We only had $2023 that was not covered by scholarships. We had $1090 from a 529 plan. I used the form mode and it put all the $2023 on line 17 and I was to get a larger refund. I then went through the step by step and it put all the 2023 into line 18 and my refund was about put in half. We had to do this quite a few years ago with our oldest but I don't remember anything like this before. Can someone guide me on what I should do?
Thank you!
