Deductions & credits

You are correct.  Do not use any expense for education on your tax return that was paid by your Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF).  Only use what you had to spend above and beyond that amount. 

 

Using the 1098-T and your extra expense for your book was the correct action for your tax return. Do not put the grant on your tax return at all.
