Deductions & credits

You say  box 1 (of the 109-T)  shows amount of $35,472 and box 5 shows $34,709. At first glance, you only have $763 (35,472-34,709=763) of qualifying expenses to use to claim the Tuition credit.  It takes $4000 of expenses to get the maximum  tuition credit.

 

You also say the scholarships included board and room.  Scholarships that pay for room &board are considered taxable income, and go on the student's return. 

 

The TurboTax interview can handle all this, but it can be tricky.
