Education

@Hal_Al  My apologies for making it sound that way.

The 2020 box 1 was about 45k and the 2020 box 5 was also about 45k. It was not claimed because it would not have made a big difference on my taxes. But it makes sense that the payments received matched the scholarships because I had school pretty much completely taken care of.

 

The 2021 box 1 is only $107.50 and the 2021 box 5 is about 23k (not 45k like it was in 2020 since I graduated mid 2021. Only had to pay 1 semester worth of tuition in 2021).

 

My school insists that box 1 is correct, but some of the turbo tax experts that I've chatted with within turbo tax have told me there is no way the payments received by my school were only $107.50 for 2021 and that the school must be wrong.

I guess it is ultimately up to me to decide who is right and who is not, but I'd like your opinion too. And what would I do in each scenario? Thanks for all of your help once again!
