Thank you so much for your quick answer! I'm still confused on one point. Total tuition for 2023 was the amount paid (box 1) PLUS the scholarship (box5). Why isn't all of box 1 a qualified expense when it was true out of pocket tuition paid directly to the university?
The 1099 worksheet seems to be the problem --- I was able to override line 2c with the full box 1 amount, but maybe I am just better off in NOT entering the 1099-Q at all? Thanks so much for your help!
