We moved from Canada to US, opened RESP account for kid before.

Last year she went to university, takes EAP from RESP account and get NR4 form.

Not clear how to report it, the info in web is confusing. See 3 kinds answer, which one should I follow？

report as earned income in wage line

report as other income(unearned)

report in 1098-T as grant/scholarship, but not report as income.

1. Open your return in TurboTax 
2. Click on Wages & Income 
3. Scroll down to All Income 
4. Scroll down to Less Common Income 
5. Scroll down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C 
6. Click start 
7. Scroll down to Other reportable income 
8. Enter description and amount  Here you wou list EAP from RESP and then the amount of the income.
