Can mandatory fees which aren't included on a 1098-T be used as a college expense to reduce a scholarship? How can they be treated?
My son's college has mandatory fees that don't show up on his 1098-T, such as a "Transportation fee" (charged to those who attend class on the campus to support campus shuttles), a "Athletic fee" (charged to all undergraduates to support the teams) and a Health fee (supports the health center). Can I count these somehow, even if the college doesn't treat them as "qualified expenses"? Can I reduce the amount of a scholarship with them, so the taxable amount of the scholarship is less? Even if I can't add them in the "Tuition and Enrollment Fees" section of TT, I'm wondering where they might go.
