Education

Sorry I feel I am beating a dead horse here BUT, I feel my situation is slightly more unique though i fear the answer is the same. 

 

Basically like most here I paid for most of my spring 2020 semester in December 2019, this tax return I was applying for the Lifetime Learning Credit but did not qualify because the amount in box 1 is about 5000, and my scholarship is 7500. So to them it seems I had extra income when in reality my tuition I PAID was about 15000 total and the scholarship was on top of that. 

Any suggestions on what I can try and do? Seems like Im getting shorted to me.
