My daughter's 1098-t box 5 amount is $10,820 which is the tuition reduction that was given through the WRGP/WICHE program for out of state students. It did not cover her full tuition as we paid the remainder $8,682.25 which is box 1. Neither of these two amounts paid for R&B nor any unqualified educational expenses.
I don't understand why TT is treating the difference in these two amounts as taxable. In fact, the total of these two amounts is the total of the tuition.
(And yes, TT did advise me that my student has taxable scholarship income due to the difference.)
Thank you for your response.
