It
depends, the 1098-T is a document that gives information on the amount of money
you paid to a college or university to cover educational expenses. It is not mandatory that it be entered on
your tax return. However, if you made an
error when claiming a tuition credit or did not report scholarship income, you
should file the amendment. It is hard to
say if you will get a bigger refund or not, not knowing the content of the
1098-T. However, it is best to wait
until you get your refund from the original return before doing the
amendment. Do not change the original
return until you receive your refund and then you can complete the amendment.
