 That usually reports it as unearned income on line 8z of Schedule 1.  That will give the student a smaller standard deduction. You want it on line 8r of schedule 1 (taxable scholarship). Verify where TurboTax put it and the amount and reply back

 

Scholarships are a hybrid between earned and unearned income. It is earned income for purposes of the $13,850 filing requirement and the dependent standard deduction calculation (earned income + $400).  It is not earned income for the kiddie tax and other purposes (e.g. EIC).
