Bug in 1098-T processing

korz — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 04:59:10 GMT

My son's 1098-T form has box 8 checked: "At least half-time student," which he is. I checked this "at least half-time student" in the TurboTax interview, but when I come out of the interview, the summary page has him as "less than half-time student." I even deleted the 1098-T and re-entered everything, and AGAIN, he's listed as "less than half-time student."

This is a bug in Home and Business (CD for Windows).

I am also using the Home & Business program. I have entered 3 1098-T forms and they are giving full credit. The 1098-T does not go to the IRS, it is informational to get the proper credit to your tax return using For, 8863.

Please make sure you are getting full credit to which you are entitled, on the 8863. In Forms mode, you can select box 8 on the 1098-T without a void to the accuracy guarantee.
