THE IRS ASSUMES you used the scholarship or grant for education expenses prior to using other earned income.
You can not enter $0 as the amount for room & board and other expenses, you must enter the actual amount used for room & board.
How did you answer the question on the stipend
Did you pay room & board (OR ANY OF THESE EXPENSES) with scholarship or grant? You MUST ANSWER YES!! You must enter all but the amount used for eligible education expenses tuition & deductible fees.
