When a 1098-T has a bigger amount on box 5 than on box one, how do I enter it in Proconnect?

My client has over $12,000 and around $6,000 on box 1. When I enter a negative amount, the software gives me a critical diagnostic.

How about either not entering the 1098-T since the net is negative, or use -1 to be a zero.

Yes, I will do that. Thanks. For some reason, I thought the excess was taxable.

Sorry - the link is for Lacerte. Same basic premise, but you need to find the appropriate input, as I can't find the PCT article.
