One of my friend have received 2 1098Ts.....one with amount in Column 2, Box 7 & 8 checked. And other one is amount in Box 5. So while working in Drake how should I enter these 2 1098Ts as the he is eligible to receive the American Opportunity Credit as their income is lesser than the threshold limit and all other conditions are fulfilled but I am confused.Should I deduct the scholarship received in 2nd 1098T from the amount billed in 1st 1098T received? Please guide me through. Thanks in advance.

One of my friend have received 2 1098Ts.....one with amount in Column 2, Box 7 & 8 checked. And other one is amount in Box 5.========>>>>>>>>>> If the amount in Box #5 ,your bud’s scholarships, is GREATER THAN the amount in Box 1 or Box 2, whichever is filled in on your 1098-T, then he cannot use any expenses to reduce his tax bill.he must report the excess as taxable income on his 1040. If the amount in Box #5 is less than the amount in Box 1 or Box 2, whichever is filled in on the 1098-T, then he can use the expenses as a deduction or credit. By subtracting Box 5 from Box 1 or Box 2. The difference is generally the amount that was paid out of pocket and that can be reported on his return. Box 7 is a check-off box to indicate if the billed amounts include any for the academic period
beginning January-March of the succeeding year of 2015. it says that expenses paid in 2014 for spring courses in 2015 CAN be claimed on your 2014 return
