Disappointed that TT doesn't differentiate between box 3 and box 7 on the 1099-MISC,
Actually, it's the IRS that does not differentiate. Just enter the 1099-MISC data as instructed. Then when you get to the education section there will be a screen that will ask if any of your education assistance received was reported elsewhere on another tax document such as a 1099-MISC. Simply indicate that it was when when asked for the amount reported elsewhere, enter it. This way the program won't have you "double dipping" and counting the education assistance income twice.
