"you cannot claim any deduction or credit for expenses paid with the grant" (2020 Emergency Financial Aid Grants)........................" it looks like we have to use it for food and housing and medical because that is what was used when asking for the funds"
Q. So, since we didn't actually "pay" for those things due to the relief funds, don't those covid funds reduce how much of the scholarship we can then shift to the student in order to have more qualified expenses of tuition and fees for the AOC?
A. No. As answered above: Note the wording at that screen “or other expenses”. Other expenses include clothing, transportation, entertainment, etc. You can even put the scholarship money in a savings account.
