Education
To verify that the scholarship was not taxed on the federal return, look at line 8r on Schedule 1.
If taxable scholarship is there, it would automatically transfer to the state return.
Scholarships that pay for qualified educational expenses (QEE - tuition, fees, books and other course materials) is tax free. Scholarship amounts that exceed QEE is taxable income, on the student’s tax return. Room & board are not QEE.
If box 5 of the 1098-T exceeds box 1, TurboTax (TT) will treat the difference as taxable income, unless you enter additional QEE at books and other expenses.
