Thanks, to you and Hal_Al.  The numbers on the 1098 don't seem to relate to the numbers on her financial aid statement but I'll figure it out somehow.

 

As a follow-up question:  regarding the Coronavirus Economic Impact Payments under the CARES Act - since we didn't get a payment for her (because she's over 17), can it be worthwhile to have her file a return as a non-dependent, in which case at her level of income she would get only a portion of the AOTC but collect all $1200 of the CARES Act payment?  (Is claiming a dependent optional?  I've never had that issue before of course).  At my income level I'm not getting the full benefit of AOTC anyway.

 

Thanks
