This is my first time filing my own return, and I'm not sure what to do with the 1098-T. The amount billed to me for tuition was $6921 (box #2). No scholarships, grants, or adjustments. I graduated in May, and my loan repayments didn't begin until November.
Using Turbo Tax, I entered this all in the 1098-T portion. It then asks me: "Out of the $6921 that was billed to Penn State, how much was actually paid to the school (including scholarships, fellows, and grants?" I assume that ALL of this was paid to the school, by my lender. Is that correct, and I put the full $6921 amount in there?
You need to do your own accounting and not ASSUME. How was the money paid out?
