Need more help with education situation:

I have a client that claims student as dependent. 

The dependent received 1098-T with the following information:

Box 1: $24,288

Box 5: $40,883

Student's income is $8k.

What is the proper way to report the 1098-T?

What were all the scholarships.  If there was $17,000 in Pell Grants; come back we can talk.  Otherwise report the 1098T and R&B and books on kids return.  Most likely with that income will not owe much even adding in free money not used for qualified education.

Be prepared to deal with the Kiddie Tax.
