<p>^^we also pay our Ds taxes…feel like she earned it by getting scholarships. Reading the publication, I think I see what you and annoyingdad are saying if scholarship $ is less than total cost, but it must mean parents have paid money toward something in order to shift the allocation right? Would you be able to take a credit if you never wrote a check? M D has full COA scholarship so we pay nothing, so nothing to shift (a good thing and obviously don’t need credit if no expense). Other D’s is specifically tuition scholarship. So our only qualifying expenses for her are books. (just curiousity since can’t complain about not getting credit :))</p>
<p>Our biggest confusion this year was about the fact 1098 list academic year scholarship, but didn’t pay for spring term in 2012…makes my head hurt but figured it out.</p>
