I paid tuition for 2018 in 2017. My 2017 1098-T shows the tuition I paid and Box 7 is checked, but Box 8 is not checked. Box 8 IS checked on my 2018 1098-T, however. I am filing an amended 2017 return so I can claim the credit. Can I answer "yes" in response to the "half-time" student question on form 8863 even though Box 8 is not checked? Should I attach both 1098-Ts with my amended return?

Yes, you can still claim. You can answer "Yes" to the question if you are at least half time student even though the box is not checked on the form.
Yes, to amend your return, you should attach both Form 1098-T forms and add an explanation that you are at least half time student in 2017 and somehow it's not checked on the form.
