You are correct, I did make a mistake. They did not include room & board on 1098-T, but they did include tuition/fees for Spring 2019 semester. Which is fine, but then the problem is they only applied the full tuition scholarship for Fall semester since they didn't receive the spring scholarship funds until Jan 2019. Ok, that's fine - I figured out how to add the additional Spring scholarship into TT to keep everything together.
So now I have a new problem: the remainder that was not covered by scholarship across both semesters (fees of less than $2000) was paid using 529 funds. No where is it asking me how this was paid - TT doesn't seem to care that I used 529 funds - and so it is giving me the American Opp tax credit but I'm pretty sure I'm not eligible b/c I used 529 funds. True? And if so, how do I account for that in Turbo Tax or should I just not even enter the 1098-T at all?? Thank you 🙂
