This is additional training/instruction conducted outside of normal school attendance and is usually geared towards those who may be a bit behind the rest of there class, to help them keep up.

Since the student is not your dependent, I suggest the student make the distributions so the 1099-Q is properly issued to the student. Box 5 is reporting the amount of aid, such as scholarships, that went through the school in your name. Q. Do I just list the box 5 amount to answer the question about amount already included in W2 income. I had put that she lived with me for 1 month on turbo tax, and still received the credit.
Am I eligible for education credits?
As others have said, you can just not report the 1099-Q, at all, if your student-beneficiary has sufficient educational expenses, including room & board (even if he lives at home) to cover the distribution. When the box 1 amount on form 1099-Q is fully covered by expenses, TurboTax will enter nothing about the 1099-Q on the actual tax forms. But, it will prepare a 1099-Q worksheet for your records (you don’t need it). You claim the tuition credit, or report scholarship income, based on your own financial records, not the 1098-T.
Can someone help clarify where I’m supposed to put info for the Grad Retention Program?
But, you and the beneficiary would still have to do the math to see if there were enough expenses left over for him/her to claim the tuition credit. You also cannot count expenses that were paid by tax free scholarships. Also if the school is really paying the tuition reported in box 1 do I even file the 1098T. If I do file it, and do what I said above it says I qualify for LLC education credit. The stipend income is reported on a W2 since that is my only income and I got one from the school. I also got a 1098T and box 1 appears to have tuition paid by the school as part of program but in box 5 it looks like it lists basically the stipend amount.
You can and usually should claim the tuition credit before claiming the 529 plan earnings exclusion. The educational expenses he claims for the 1099-Q should be reduced by the amount of educational expenses you claim for the credit. You cannot count the same tuition money, for the tuition credit, that gets him an exclusion from the taxability of the earnings (interest) on the 529 plan. Since the credit is more generous; use as much of the tuition as is needed for the credit and the rest for the interest exclusion. He’ll have to pay tax on the earnings, at his lower tax rate (subject to the “kiddie tax”), but not the penalty. A person who attended technical school while a member of the military is not eligible for education credits on a tax return, nor is he considerd as being a student for purposes of being a “Qualifying Child” dependent.

Whether you enter the 1098-T depends on who paid that. Your stipend is on your W-2, so that has been taken care of as far as being reported as income.
