A client received their 1098-T that shows 4235.00 (amount billed for qualified tuition expense)in box 2 and 2,652.00 in box 5(scholarships or grants)in 2008. All of the amounts were used for qualified education expense, as defined in Publication 970. However when I entered the amount in proseries, the $2,652 is treated as income, and therefore increases the AGI of the client, which should not be the case.

Can anyone help with how to treat this.
