Thank you for your help. I think I may have to claim some of the grant now though, because looking into it more my pell grant covered my tuition/ school fees but I also received a couple of state grants on top of it so with my loan refund I must have received a couple hundred directly to me after the grants were used to pay my tuition. Do I add up my grants for each semester and subtract what the school charged me that semester to calculate what to claim as income, since that's the amount that went directly to me and I used it for living expenses? If I claim a portion of these grants as income, then do I subtract the amount I claim as income from the total amount for the Homestead credit question about nontaxable income? I appreciate any insight.
