Thanks for your quick response and follow-up questions! 

Re: 1098-T thank you for this input. On my 1098-T there is a tuition amount listed in box 1, so would this impact how the fellowship money listed in box 5 is treated by TurboTax? The money issued for the fellowship was used by me to pay for tuition, but the department that awarded it to me explicitly stated that the fellowship was taxable and I needed to report it as such on my taxes.

The state is Minnesota. Again, the department that awarded me the fellowship stated that it was taxable at the federal and state level. 

Below is a screenshot of where TT is auto-populating (in the state return section) a field (see red box/arrow) dedicated for non-taxable scholarships, however the fellowship money shouldn't be populating there since it was taxable. Not sure why TT is assuming it's non-taxable on the state return-- therefore I have been concerned that TT is also processing it as non-taxable on the federal after I entered the data in the 1098-T form screen there. 

Any input on this would be helpful! I want to get this right and make sure TT is viewing this as taxable so it doesn't cause me issues later.
