Education
Do not report it as "other Income", particularly if you are someone else's dependent. That will put it on line 7a of form 1040 (via Schedule 1) instead of line 1 of form 1040; and that affects your standard deduction calculation.
Instead, enter taxable scholarship at the 1098-T screen under Deductions and Credits (not income).
If scholarship (Box 5) is greater than tuition (Box1) report as scholarship income. If your total income, including the taxable portion of the scholarship is less than $12,200 you don’t have to file a tax return.
