Is the filing of an amended return required for a change to a 1098-T? The new numbers on the 1098-T did NOT change the ultimate tax situation.

After filing taxes for my son his university issued a new 1098-T.  Per the university this was not a "corrected" 1098-T as the original was never submitted to the IRS.  The updated 1098-T reflected a reduction in scholarships received. Upon updating the info in turbotax, his return showed no change in his final tax situation.  He owed nothing and was not due a refund with the old 1098-T and the same was true with the new 1098-T.  Do I need to file an amended return for him?  His return has already been accepted by the IRS.

No, if the second 1098-T you received had no effect on your tax return then you do not have to file an amended return.
