How about either not entering the 1098-T since the net is negative, or use -1 to be a zero.

Yes, I will do that. Thanks. For some reason, I thought the excess was taxable.

Sorry - the link is for Lacerte. Same basic premise, but you need to find the appropriate input, as I can't find the PCT article.

I understand that an undergraduate can use the excess to pay for living expenses like room ad board. so in that case I think I can reduce to zero. Other than that, I am not sure.

The amount is taxable. How do you enter the information so it shows up when they don't get a Q form (graduate student)
