My son's Form 1098-T

[floriatax]

My son is s high school student (17 years old) and received Form 1098-T with $4000 in Box 1 and $4000 in Box 5 (Scholarship).  He DID NOT provide half of his support, and we claim him as a dependent on our tax return.  Our income is over $180,000.  Even though we are not eligible for an education credit, should I report his Form 1098-T on our tax return?

After I tried to input his Form 1098-T, TurboTax kept showing an error on his "Person on the Return - TP/SP Link".  If I need to report his Form 1098-T, please tell me how to complete and fix the error for his "Person on the Return".

No, you do not need to report the 1098 T on your return. The reason why you are showing that error is that TurboTax is trying to determine if the 1098 T belongs to you or your spouse. Lessen the confusion by deleting the 1098-T completely from the return.

If you use TurboTax Online, the best method to use to delete is to go to tax tools>tools>delete a form> delete 1098 T and all associated worksheets. Also delete the 8863 if it is listed in your forms. Log out of the return and log back in again to save the change.

If you use desktop software, go to the form mode in your return. Look for 1098 T, 8863 and any worksheets.  Close the return to save the changes and log back in again.
