Deductions & credits
@KrisD15 to follow up on my last message. I believe what the IRS is saying is that IF you used it for qualified tuition and expenses then you can’t put that $1200 in the expenses portion of your return. If I were to put $1200 more on the expenses portion that would of therefore caused me to get a bigger refund credit, which I did not do. I used the $1200 unexpected expenses and unmet financial need due to the pandemic. These $1200 expenses were NOT put on my return, and did not cause me to get a bigger credit, as I only put on my return what was on my 1098-T and 1 Book that I had purchased before the pandemic started. Would I have to put the $1200 amount from the HEERF if the normal education expenses are different from the qualified HEERF expenses? It says we can use for unexpected childcare, Healthcare, technology, etc. I would only need to put the $1200 amount of the grant on my tax form if I were to put the expenses paid with that grant? I’m so sorry for all of the questions this is just super confusing and they never gave any direction. From what I understand is as long as you don’t put the expense amount paid from the grant, then I wouldn’t have to put the grant on my return at all, as TurboTax also never asked if I received that.
