On my sons 1098-T his box 1 amount is lower than his box 5 amount but the two amounts added together are the total of his tuition for 2025. None of the scholarship funds went to room and board. It all went to tuition. But when I enter the amounts in Turbotax on my return because he is a dependent, it says we do not qualify for the education credit and it is making the difference taxable income. I believe this is incorrect but the only way around it is to not enter the amount from box 5 in Turbotax. Is this allowed?
