I just received my 1098-T form from my college. How do I amend? Turbo Tax won’t let me do it on the app. And I submitted everything on the 10th. Nothing is pending. I’m just waiting to get my state tax return mailed to me.

Amend

The amendment form (1040X for Federal) will not be available in TurboTax until 2/27/20, BUT that could change. Once the form becomes available you can then amend your return. Do not make any changes to your original filed return.

Amend returns must be mailed & they can take up to 16 weeks to be processed.

If you used TurboTax Online, simply log in to your account and select “Amend a return that was filed and accepted.” If you used our CD/download product, sign back into your return and select “Amend a filed return.” You must file a separate Form 1040X for each tax return you are amending.

Three weeks after mailing your amended return, you can start tracking it at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Please allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended

I did these steps in February and still haven't heard or recieved anything back. When I go to the IRS site it says my information is invalid. I recieved a letter in the mail and mailed all the appropriate info back to them and still nothing. When I call their help line its auto.ated and literally doesn't help with anything I need. I just want to talk to a real person to help me get this all taken care of but none of the help lines are answered by real people it's just stupid useless automation. How do you get in contact with an actual human being?

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.

You may or may not need or want to amend 2019 with Form 1098-T.

Must amend: You must report it and pay taxes on any excess of scholarship exceeding tuition and qualified education expenses.

Decide your best option:

Amending takes on average 16 weeks. The federal and state returns must be mailed in.
Education credits are not available to you if you are claimed as a dependent on another person's return.
The maximum credit would be $2,500, but if there is otherwise no tax due, the credit will be reduced to $1,000 or less.

Here are some resources to assist you in your amending decision:
