Q.  I am assuming I just enter the that 1098-T as it and it has nothing to do with the taxable scholarship money?

A. No.  Do not enter that 2nd 1098-T.  Again, TurboTax can theoretically handle it, but it gets messy. 

 

The tuition for dual credit class normally cannot be used to claim the AOC. The exception is if he was  officially enrolled as a degree candidate, at the college (this is unusual) and the 1098-T was issued by the college, not the high school.   If so, the easy way is to just reduce the previously calculated taxable scholarship from  $5359 to $3820 (5359 -1539 = 3820). 

 

Normally, you can claim the lesser Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC) for a dual credit class.  But since you are already claiming the AOC, you are not allowed to claim a 2nd education credit.
