Solved

I did not want to file 1098-T form with my tax return because my parents are claiming me and I thought I omitted it by hitting back button but its still on my return printout copy.

If you have indicated on your tax return that you can be claimed by someone else, you should not be getting any education credits form the 1098-T on your tax return. TurboTax should not have included them. Do you see any education credits on your form 1040? The American Opportunity Credit would be on lines 33 and/or 44 of 1040A or on lines 50 and/or 68 for form 1040.

On the other hand, if you had scholarship or grant awards that paid for non qualified expenses such as room and board, that income must be included on your tax return.

I only show zero's on lines 50 & 68.  I just didn't like that turbo tax kept the 1098 information I originally input.  Thank you for your help.
