Retirement tax questions

Scholarships and fellowships you receive while working towards your degree at a college/university (or an accredited educational institution) are generally nontaxable if used for tuition and required fees. You must be a registered full-time or part-time student and use the amounts for qualified education expenses such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment that is required for the course as set by the educational institution.

Amounts not used for the above expenses are taxable. This information was entered in the Education Expenses section.

Are you reporting a Form 1098-T?   Based on your input, TT thinks you had some taxable scholarship income.    Did you receive any scholarship monies that exceeded the qualified education expenses or used for nonqualified expenses, or were a payment for services?
