Try these steps: Go back to the T4A entry page.
Look for the "Box 105" dropdown: Do not put the amount in the first field labelled "Other scholarships... (Taxable)."
Select this specific option: "Full-time scholarship: also have T2202 with months in Box C."
The T2202 Link: Ensure you have already entered your T2202. If you have "0" months in the full-time box of the T2202, the software will ignore your "Full-time" selection on the T4A and dump the money back into Line 13010.
Check the Summary: After saving, Line 13010 should drop to $0. If it doesn't, try deleting the T4A slip entirely and re-entering it manually (auto-fill sometimes "locks" the taxable status).
For Your Partner (Part-Time Student)
Part-time students are only exempt up to the total of Tuition + Program Materials + $500 basic exemption. TurboTax Free hides this calculation.
The T4A Entry: Select the option for "Part-time scholarship: also have T2202 with months in Box B."
Where to enter expenses: This is likely where you're stuck. To claim the "partial" exemption for books or equipment:
Use the "Find" (magnifying glass) tool at the top and type "Scholarship Exemption."
This should take you to a dedicated "Scholarship Exemption Worksheet" or a "Student Expenses" page.
Enter the costs of books/materials here. TurboTax will then take [Scholarship Amount] - [Tuition] - [Books] - [$500] and only put the remainder on Line 13010.
Important: If their tuition plus books is more than the scholarship, Line 13010 should be $0.
