Thank you very much for your reply. I am sorry if I explained clearly about it. The thing is that, my son got $2500 scholarship and all that went to tuition payment. I paid extra $1700 for his tuition. So the total was $4200 for tuition. On the other hand, he also received another $1600 housing aid and all that went to room and board. I paid extra $3500 for his housing. That was a total of $5100. That means we together paid $9300 for tuition and housing, including $4100 ($2500+$1600) he received from his college. If TurboTax asks how much went to room and board and I reply $1600, then the software may thing he had an extra income of $2500. But that's not the case here.
