One of the turbo tax questions when claiming the tuition credit is have you received any scholarships, grants or VA benefit. My son’s university tuition was covered by the Hazelwood act. We did have to pay out of pocket for the student fees to the university. Since the Hazelwood is specific to the state of Texas and the universities absorb the cost, Im Not sure if we have to answer “yes” to that question have you received VA benefits? I tried answering both ways. When answered “no” I received tax credit for the fees I paid however when I approximated the tuition fees and filled in the box I received nothing. Our 1098 is blank under the tuition and grant box.
