My 1098-T shows that the scholarships or grants (box 5) I received are larger than the amount billed by the school (box 2). It seems that when I am trying to do my taxes, turbotax is taking the difference of these two boxes and adding it to my income, but my scholarship is a full-tuition scholarship that ONLY covers tuition expenses. I never receive this money, and it is only applied to cover my tuition. It seems that the school reported the 2017 spring semester bill in my 2016 1098-T.
Does this count as income even though my scholarship only covers tuition, or am I doing something wrong?
