1098-T Box showing up as 1040 Box 1 income...why?

My daughter (filing single and not as our dependent) got a 1098-T form in 2018 and 2019 (which showed how much tuition she paid and how much she received in grants) . In both cases, Box 1 (tuition she paid) exceeded Box 5 (grant money).

 

In 2018's 1040 tax return, Box 5 amount on 1098-T was not included under wage, salaries income (box 1 of 1040 form) but in 2019, it was!  Why?  How do I fix that because the support form on TurboTax is filled out the same was as last year's return.
