I am doing my son’s taxes. He’s a high school student in a prep program with UNL and pays them $500 for summer school but no form. How do I file this? Also has W2 job

[JulieR · Accepted solution]

To enter the summer school tuition, type   "1098-t  into the search box to get to the education section and enter the expenses without a 1098-T stating that you do have an exception. 

You can do this by answering the interview questions in the program.

Be sure to keep a copy of the student's school account statement with your tax file.

The W-2 will be reported under Wages & Income / Job (W-2).

One important note. If you are claiming your son as a dependent on your return, be sure his return indicates that you are claiming him.

The college prep academy it through UNL which is who paid the stipend. The class was taken at the high school and was enrolled in Metro Community College for the class. What do I put for the name of the school? This is so complicated for a small thing. The income was reported to IRS by UNL but no form

 As I’m filling out this form it wants the federal ID number for the school. I do not have the federal ID for them because I didn’t get an actual form from them so it will not let me submit the 1098-T  and wants me to remove all the information. If I can’t use that form, how can I put the stipend money on the tax return?
