If you know how much the student needs to report as scholarship income, please enter that amount on the dependent student's return.

If the student is your dependent, you claim her on your return, but the student claims the scholarship income

If the student meets the filing requirement, they need to select "Yes, Someone else can claim me" and "Yes, someone else will claim me".

Below is how the student claims the scholarship income (scholarships not applied to tuition, fees, books, or supplies)   

 

Click Federal

Click Deductions & Credits

Scroll down to the Education section and click Show More

Scroll down to Expenses and Scholarships (1098-T)

Select that you have an exception to not having a 1098-T

You will need the school's information, such as address and school EIN

Continue through the interview saying there was no expenses and simply enter the amount the student needs to claim as "Additional Scholarship" on the scholarship screen.
