Education

@Hal_Al 

I spoke too soon.  I think with my parents claiming the $4000, even accounting the rollover, I need to count at least some of my scholarships as income or I won't quite cover the expenses.

 

1098-T expenses: $9688.75

books and computer: $1376.52 (might be able to scratch together a little for gas and such to count too)

Total: $11,065.27

Expenses claimed by Parents for AOTC: $4000

Scholarships: $3400 on 1098-T and $500 outside=$3900

Subtract AOTC and Scholarships= $3165.27

But my first ESA disbursement was $3829.59

 

So I'm a bit short on leftover expenses to have the ESA disbursement covered and need to call the scholarships income instead.

 

Do I do this in Wages & Incomes somehow or by altering answers to questions in the Education sub-section of Deductions & Credits? I couldn't see how to do it in Wages & Income; the part about scholarships was pre-loaded with 0 and wouldn't let me alter it.

 

Thank you for your patience and assistance!
