TT will not allow me to enter my daughter's tuition from a 1098-T because my income is too high. Now it says a scholarship she was awarded is income because her scholarship was more than her expenses. How can I fix this?

    If she has a filing requirement she would have to report the 1098-T and the difference between her qualified education expenses and her scholarship would be income to her.  You would not report the 1098-T. If she doesn’t need to file because she didn’t have enough income no one has to report the 1098-T.

    I had to go back through the education credits over and over again and finally it allowed me into the area I needed.
