Question

I put in 1098-T information and TT claims it's income because it doesn't go toward education expenses. It didn't ASK for the tuition expenses. Bug? User error?

it's probably something to do with how you answered the questions about your dependent. there are a lot of questions so answer slowly and carefully.

 

is TT saying that the BOX 5 amount is income?
