During the year, she received a $6,500, unrestricted scholarship, reported to her on Form 1098-T rather than Form W-2. She spent $5,500 of the scholarship funds on her current-year tuition, and she applied the rest to room and board. Pamelia also had income from a part-time job, and she is required to file a 2020 tax return. How does she report the scholarship on her Form 1040

Answer 1

Based on the information given, in order to report the scholarship, the best option is B. She should enter "SCH" and "1000" on the dotted line next to line 1 of form 1040.

It should be noted that form 1040 is the form that uses by individual taxpayers to file their taxes with the IRS. In this case, it should be noted that scholarship money can either be tax fee or partially free.
