Education

Thank you for your response, A message that is displayed in  Turbo Tax after I receive the credit for college states that she (my daughter) needs to file for the Room and Board $8600 as income 

(Also from the remaining  difference of box 5 and box , the total is $6,324 (more scholarship than tuition)  $3858 are for non educational expenses and I am thinking if this is also consider "income"?)

If yes, total is $12,458 and standard deduction is $12,400. However I made an account for her to calculate and is totaling $0 for payment. So she does't needs to file an income tax? She didn't work in 2020 and doesnt.

If no, total is just $8600 and is lees that standard deduction, so she doesn't need to file?

Thank you so much for your help
