Education

You should be able to e-file.  

 

You will treat Form 1042- S as receiving a scholarship or fellowship to offset your qualified education expenses if there are any.  You will enter the amount in box 5 on your Form 1098-T.  If you have paid any qualified tuition expenses out of pocket, you would enter information by following the steps below.  As IRS receives a copy of your Form 1042-S, you can e-file your tax return.  You do not need to submit your Form 1042-S separately.

 

In TurboTax Online,

  • After sign into your account and select Pick up where you left off
  • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in 1098t and Enter 
  • Select Jump to form 1098T 
  • Follow prompts

 

If you have paid in any tax withholdings, enter info so you will not be taxed twice.  Here are the steps:

  • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in estimates paid and Enter
  • Select Jump to estimates paid
  • On the screen, "Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid", select Other Income Taxes Paid / Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099, to enter info

If your scholarship amount exceeds your tuition and other qualified expenses like books and supplies, the difference will be taxable as wages (SCH) on line 1 of your Form 1040.
