Don't do it that way, particularly if you are claimed as a dependent by someone else. That puts the income on line 8 of Schedule 1. You want it on line 1 of form 1040 where it will be classified as earned income for purposes of calculating your Standard deduction (it is not earned income for any other purpose).
Instead, In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version)
Deductions & Credits (NOT INCOME)**
“I’ll choose what I want to work on” button
-Scroll down to:
--Education
--Education Expenses
After answering that you didn't get a 1098-T, the interview will eventually allow you to enter your scholarship amount.
** You can enter in the income section with desktop software (I haven't verified if it can be done online), but not as described in the other reply.
In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab (Personal in Home & Business)
- Wages & Income
Scroll down to:
-Less Common Income
-Click "Visit All". You'll eventually reach a screen, where TT will specifically ask you to enter the scholarship amount.
