Unsure how or what to file

vict22 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 08:35:52 GMT

Hello!

I am currently a student with multiple scholarships and some out of pocket payments for tuition. Last year, I had a job but only worked two shifts and made a whopping $38.06. Either way, the employer sent me a tax return W-2 form. I also got a 1099-Q form from a scholarship, and a 1098-T form for paying tuition. I am unsure how to file or where to even start with this process. Please help!

TurboTax can definitely help you file your education forms.

If your parents still claim you as a dependent on their return, they may need to file the education forms there, to check for the Education Credits.
If you are filing a return and not any longer their dependent, then you will file them on your own return.

You will need to have the Deluxe version of TurboTax. Your Form W-2 will be entered first, in the Wages and Income section. Then when you get to the Deductions and Credits section of the return, look for the Education section. It will look like the image below and you will enter you Form 1099-Q and Form 1098-T there.

Here is additional information about Education Tax Credits. What are Education Tax Credits
