Where on my tax form would I file Box 5 from my 1098-T? I used Taxcut and entered the amount from box 2 but I do not know where to enter box 5. It will not let me enter under scholarships because it does not equal Box 2? YIKES!!!!

You do not enter it ANYWHERE.

What you do is SUBTRACT the Box #5 scholarship information from the BOX #2 tuition paid, then enter the difference on your tax return.

If Box #5 is GREATER THAN Box #2, then you CANNOT CLAIM any tution credits or deductions.
