Question

Scholarships

Why is Turbo Tax saying that I have to report scholarships received by my child as taxable income even if the amount of the scholarships does not exceed the amount of education expenses?

-The usual explanation is you just didn't enter the expenses correctly.

-Another explanation is you used some of the tuition to claim the tuition credit, reducing the amount available to be covered by tax free scholarship.

-Only tuition, fees, books and other course materials ate qualified expenses for tax free scholarships. Room and board and other personal expense, including travel, are not.
