Pell grants pays off most of my classes before VA finally pays out, then the amount is refunded to me. I’ve gone through the account and got totals as best as I could for 2021 since the school refused me a 1098-T form.
I see a way to claim without 1098T and did my best to enter the amounts correctly. However I was told before that I don’t need to claim VA benefits. So do I have to even put it in there? It also asked me twice the amount not used for educational expenses. This of course lowered my refund amount pretty hardcore. I just want to make sure I’m entering everything correctly to get that portion of Pell grant I used for room and board taxed.
I entered the school info, then the amount of Pell grant refunded to me, the amount va paid out to the school, and the next page asked for the amount not used for educational expense and the page after asks again for the amount used for room and board. I entered the same amount for both of these.
, my refund of course dropped. However I’m seeing online in here that I need to enter the amount somewhere with an SCH? Am I claiming it wrong?
