Education

Does your 1098-T show a larger amount in Box 5 (scholarships) than Box 1 (tuition)?

 

If so, then scholarship not used for tuition can become taxable income.

 

It sounds like you may need to revisit the Education interview screens; you may have inadvertently indicated that your school scholarship was used for Room & Board.

 

If you can clarify with amounts of Tuition and Scholarship you have, we'll try to help.

 

Here's more info on Taxable Scholarships
