I have a very similar situation with my daughter and find the digressions as useful as the original topic. The TurboTax Premier step by step summary implies daughter's income of only $4000, standard deduction of $6300, some small withdrawals from 529 not even shown, yet tax liability of nearly $1000 -- because 1098-T scholarship "income" is hidden. Some of the Q&A in this site instruct that the 1098-T data always and only be entered on Parent's return, not dependent's. This expert instructs otherwise. Also other pages instruct to transcribe 1098T data as shown, "even if wrong" to be corrected "later". I'm having a lot of trouble finding and working with the TurboTax screens in these circumstances. In short the digressions show me I'm not alone, or being stupid, with this issue.
