I am trying to enter a taxable amount of scholarship income for wages from a Fulbright Scholarship. The directions from the AI do not match Turbo Tax Program.

AI directions are as follows To add Fulbright scholarship income in TurboTax, follow these steps: Navigate to Income Section: Go to the "Wages & Income" section of TurboTax. Select "Other Income": Look for the option to report "Other Income" or "Scholarship and Fellowship Grants." Enter the Amount: Input the amount of the Fulbright scholarship that is considered taxable income. Provide Details: You may need to provide additional details about the scholarship, including the purpose and any related expenses. When I go to wages, it does not allow me to move forward if I say I do not have a W-2. It just moves onto the next section. There is not section called Other Income. All categories in Micellaneous Income require a federal document form which I do not have. I need to report the income in wages and type SCH in the margins of wages per IRS
