If you entered the 1098-T already, just adjust box 1 to 0 and enter the amount you need to claim in box 5.
If the program does not like that, enter $1 in box 1 and add one dollar to the amount you need to claim in box 5.
Done.
In reality, you wouldn't enter the 1098-T, just the amount you need to claim as a scholarship in that same section (education) but the end result will be the same. If you have the 1098-T already in the program, just use that as the vehicle, but change the numbers so only the amount you need to claim is listed.
That will work, the numbers will flow to the 1040, and you should see the amount you need to claim included in line 1 of your 1040.
