Why is the amount of my 1099-Q income being deducted from the total scholarship amount on my 1098-T? Do I need to re-report the scholarship income from the 1098-T?
Example scenario with fake dollar amounts:
Original 1098-T=$20,000
Payments from 1099-Q education programs=$5,000
"Scholarships/Grants/Fellowships listed on 1098-T (don't include amounts already listed on a W-2 or other tax form)"=$15,000
I don't understand why the TurboTax system is reducing that scholarship amount from the 1098-T - it was already on another form and was not part of the scholarships on the 1098-T.
