Education
You don't want to omit the 1098-t that is what qualifies you for any education credits, AOC or LLC in TT. You want to omit the 1099q income, assuming you know you have educational expenses that offset it fully in excess of whatever expenses you require to get the credit your claiming.
If you not eligible for either education credit and you know expenses offset fully you can omit both the 1098t and the 1099q from your return.
In my personal situation I was not eligible for the AOC or LLC credit because my income phased me out fully, but TT still assigned the full amount I reported from my 1098t in conjunction with that credit (line 18 on student info wks), which left some of the 1099q income i reported not fully offset by expenses i entered. In my situation i set that credit used amount to 0 to get it to correctly offset the income. But if you want TT to assess your eligibility for the credits you need to enter that 1098t.
