OK. I was finally able to find the way back to the section. (I have not filed mine or son's returns yet)
And what TurboTax does is not consistent. Thus my confusion.
Under "Deductions and Credits" "Education Summary" I clicked on "Scholarships and Grants" Edit.
That's the section where it asked how much of the scholarships did my son use to pay room and board (non-qualifying expenses).
Then on the next page TurboTax says my son will need to include this amount on his return which I understood.
But TurboTax gave the wrong amount the first time and that is what caused my initial confusion.
I went back through about 5 times and adjusted or deleted the amounts and watched the results change on the left reflecting how much tax I owed.
When I put in our true numbers TurboTax then gives me the page that tells me how much my son will count as income.
BUT the amount it gives was wrong about half the time.
Had I used the amount TurboTax gave me the first time I think I would have been in error.
