Education

Yes, the 1099-Q is not entered since it covered qualified education expenses.

The 1098-T will be entered once by the parent and once by the student in very different ways. The parent is claiming $4k paid while the student is claiming $4k income - as long as the scholarship allows the use for living expenses and is not dedicated to tuition only. There could be other expenses as well, books, supplies, etc.

Parent:

  1. Enter the 1098-T basic information
  2. For the box entries, only box 1 is entered $4,000
  3. this maximizes your credit.

 

For the student, determine if kiddie tax comes into play and if your student needs to file a return.
