1098-E "Name of Lender" field *NEW* 24 character requirement

[Anonymous]

The 1098-E Lender field now requires no more than 24 characters for a lender name.

Previously I had been using "US Department of Education" (for many years) and other posts have also cited about the same: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2758480-what-do-i-put-for-the-1098-e-name-of-lender-do-i-put-us-de...

What should I use as the lender name as 24 characters is now limited trying to get in "US Department of Education" (27 characters)

US Dept of Ed  will work ... or just type in the first 24 letters including spaces ... it really doesn't matter since the IRS only looks at the sender's EIN
