I'm sorry if I'm not being clear, but okay I see what you are saying. I'm still a bit confused though on why it's being reported as my income because the amount in Box 5 was used towards my tuition, fees, books, and supplies.
The amount in Box 5 is much larger than Box 1 though. And from what I've read I'm supposed to report this. Why is it being counted as my income if all of what I've received from financial aid went straight to my education expenses? (if I'm not being clear enough is there some way to contact someone further from this chat?)
Thank you!
