WRT "Tell us if (my kid) used a scholarship, grant or fellowship to pay for room and board or for one of these other expenses: research, travel, clerical help or equipment."
Who knows? Money in / money out. Scholarship is money in. R&B is money out. How can one be directly related to the other. If you give me 10 bucks and someone gives me 20 bucks and I buy something for 15, did I use 10 from one and 5 from the other? or 15 from the 2nd. Money doesn't work that way.
The question seems like nonsense.
And that is not the worst thing about this page. I'm quite sure I have also discovered a bug.
If I answer yes, enter 4999 and continue, I get a page with msg "turns out 's education assistance counts as income"
Then, I select back, enter 1000 and continue, I get a page with msg "turns out 's education assistance counts as income ... will need to file a tax return to include this $4999"
Doing again: back, enter 2000 and continue, I get a page with msg "turns out 's education assistance counts as income ... will need to file a tax return to include this $1000"
It's reporting the value from the _previous_ entry; not the current entry. Since the taxable amount changes as I enter different amounts, I wonder what value it's using to calculate my taxes: the value I just entered or the previous value. I get very nervous when I think the software is making a mistake.
