1098-T Box 1 Empty
Hello everyone! I am currently completing my taxes, and has a question regarding my 1098-T, if anyone could help. I graduated back in May 2025, and like many other graduates I'm having an issue with the reporting periods making it look like my $20,000 in scholarships are unreported income which is not true, and it's making me owe a lot of money I know I don't need to pay. I even went back into all of my itemized statements from when I started college and wrote it all down, and none of my scholarships in any semester ever went past the eligible expenses. Even if I just used tuition alone and not the fees, it still would not have gone past. I've seen some people say you can just leave the 1098-T out, and I am not trying to get the tax credit, I just want to make sure that if I leave the 1098-T out of my return that it won't flag anything. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
