Education

When you receive a Form 1042- S with the code 16, you will treat it as receiving a scholarship or fellowship to offset your qualified education expenses if there are any. 

 

If you have paid any qualified tuition expenses out of pocket or with a scholarship, you would enter information by following the steps below.

 

  1. Open or continue your return
  2. Select Search and search for 1098-t, then select the Jump to link in the search results
    • Another way to find this section is to select Federal from the left menu, then Deductions & Credits. Locate the Education section and select Show more, then Start or Revisit next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
  3. On the Do you want to enter your higher education expenses? screen, answer Yes
  4. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1098-T for the year? and Continue
  5. On the next screen, you can choose how you'd like to add your 1098-T. You can upload a digital copy from your computer or type it in yourself. Select which option you'd like and Continue
  6. If you need to enter a 1098-T for someone else, continue through the screens until you get to the Your Education Expenses Summary screen, then select Add A Student
