Education

I see --- thank you for the explanation -- it makes sense. You are correct.  You need to get the  school to issue a corrected  1098-T --- because  either (a) Box 1 should include all the fees  paid  OR paid on your behalf  OR they should take out the scholarship   because you did not receive anything  ( went fro one pocket/account of the school to another ).  It is possible that they may take the position that you have to pay the tax on this scholarship amount ( that I think would be unfair but the giver makes the rules).  Good Luck
