Can you receive a AOTC when paying tuition with prepaid tuition and have room and board covered with TAXABLE scholarships?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
To do what you want to do, edit the 1098-T by using the "What if this is not what I paid" link located below Box 1 on the 1098-T screen in TurboTax.
If you need to go back to the education section, type 1098-T into the search box and click the "Jump to 1098-T".
Click Edit next to the student's name.
Click Edit next to the name of the school
Continue to the 1098-T screen and click the "What if this is not what I paid to this school" link in blue below Box 1
A drop-down will open (you may need to scroll down to see it)
Enter the proper amount here and continue.
Always
CONTINUE through the Education
section of the software until you get to the “Maximize My Credit” page. Do this after any entries you make that
could affect the education credit, such as a 1099-Q reporting 529
distributions. If you follow the interview step-by-step you’ll be fine, but if
you make any entries out of order, you may need to update the “Maximize My Credit” page
Be aware that is may or may not change the credit amount and/or your refund. The credit only uses a certain amount of expenses at which time it maxes out.
