Thanks @Hal_Al ,
I am a bit confused because I thought she needed to file a return if her unearned income is over $1,100. Is this not the case? She put the scholarship as "unearned income" in the IRS interactive tool that is supposed to tell you if you need to file, and it determined she needs to file. Was she mistaken in classifying the $2000 as unearned income? (Her only other income was something like $650 on a W-2...)
The difference between Box 1 and Box 5 on the 1098-T is only $795. What happened is that once she received one of the scholarships, the school took it and just reduced the tuition remission amount...
Thanks,
C.
