Q. What qualifies the student loan tax break (1098-T) as 'not simple'?

A. TurboTax says so. It's that simple: you no longer have a "simple return" by their standrd.

 

But, maybe you should not be claiming a "student loan tax break (1098-T)".  If you are  a dependent, it's your parents that file your 1098-T to claim a tuition credit. You would file the 1098-T if your scholarships (box 5) exceed your tuition (box 1).  If that is the case, reply back for more advice.
