Q. How I put the income into her return. Do I do it by the line 1 with SCH or by the 1098-T or both?
A. Both. But, you let TT do it. You enter it at the 1098-T section. TT puts it on line 1 (form 1040) with SCH.
Q. Also I have a question on where TT gets the parent tax on line 10 in Part II of 8615?
A. You enter it in the interview. So, the parent has to have completed his return first (if not, an estimate is close enough).
You haven't said whether the parent will be claiming the AOC. At $90K taxable, he's only eligible if filing MFJ (jointly).
