I already filed my taxes and realized I didn't include information from my dependent's 1098-T. Does this mean I missed out on a tax credit?

I thought I would be putting in the 1098-T information with his taxes but I can't since he is a dependent.

If the student is your dependent then you can enter the Form 1098-T on your tax return and you may be eligible for the education credits on your tax return.

 

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
