Education

If your mom is not claiming you then no she would not enter your 1098-T on her return.  Since all of your tuition was paid by scholarships, then she would not get an education credit even if she did claim you. 

 

There is not a loophole for the excess amount.  Your scholarship income would be considered unearned income and is taxable for the amount you did not use for tuition and eligible education expenses.
