Education

If you have a 1098-T with a larger amount in Box 1 (Tuition) than in Box 5 (Scholarships), you may qualify for an Education Credit.

 

However, if Box 5 (Scholarships) is larger than Box 1 (Tuition), you may have Taxable Scholarship Income.

 

But if Box 1 and Box 5 are equal amounts, you don't qualify for a credit and don't need to enter your 1098-T in TurboTax.  Just keep it for your records.
