Your daughter has $2,800 in tentative scholarship income because box 5 exceeds box 1 or the 1098-T.
If she also reports another $1,200 in qualified education expenses, that should reduce the tentative scholarship income to $1,600.
Hopefully, your daughter will fall under the $12,200 filing requirement or the dependent filing requirement and not have to pay taxes on the scholarship income.
The dependent filing requirement is:
- Unearned income was more than $1,100.
- Earned income was more than $12,200
- Gross income was more than the larger of:
- $1,100, or
- Earned income plus $350. [Edited 02/27/20 9:41 AM]
