Q. So, to double check, on my son's tax return since he had nothing in box 1 on any of his 1098T forms, do we put 0 in box 2 and $5377 in box 5?
A. Yes. As you have surmised, you will have to use a work around in TurboTax and what you describe is the easiest way. Starting in year 2018, there is no longer a box 2 on the 1098-T, so put 0 in box 1.
