Deductions & credits

I gave it try on my computer (Deluxe download), TT handled it perfectly. Coming up with $1679 taxable distribution (line 8z of schedule 1) and $4250 taxable scholarship (line 8r of Schedule 1). The penalty exception appeared on form 5329. 

 

On the parent's return, enter the 1098-T with $4000 in box 1 and no other amounts.  On the student's return, enter the 1099-Q first, then the 1098-T later. Enter both exactly as received (no adjustments).  When asked how much of the scholarship was used for room & board, enter $4250 (that entry makes it taxable).  You should reach a screen "Education Expenses Used for a Tax Credit". The box should be prepopulated with $4000, if not change it to $4000.*  If you don't get that result reply back and we can try a work around.

 

This assumes, you going to treat the entire 1099-Q amount as a 2022 distribution, and not partially for 2023. 

 

*When the student indicates, in the personal info section,  that he is a dependent, TT assumes the parent claims the credit.
