post the 1098-T exactly as it is presented to you.
box 5 is the amount of the scholarship and box 1 is what was paid to the college for tuition and other related fees.... therefore you should received the money that was not used for 'tuition or other related fees'. you should have that extra cash.
if you used some of the cash for books that were REQUIRED for class that were not purchased at the university, you can increase Box 1 by that amount (TT asks about that). (the books purchased at the university should already be in Box 1)
but if you spend the extra money on room and board, computer and related supplies, books that are not required for school (like a dictionary or notebooks or other school supplies), that money is taxable to you.
