I'm trying to fill out my 1098-T for college scholarship and it is asking me for a federal ID number which I don't see on my 1098 does anyone know what this is?

On Form 1098-T, the Federal ID is the Filer's Employer identification number which is on the second line on the left, next to the student's TIN box which your SSN.

I have a question my school didn’t give me that information EIN and they didn’t give me a 1098 T what do I do no EIN number and it won’t let me complete the section

You MUST have the school's employer identification no. to claim the more generous American Opportunity Credit (AOC). Ask the school for it. It should be a question they frequently hear. 

The fact that you don't get a 1098-T may indicate that your school is not an "eligible institution". 

Enter your school at the link below, to see if it's on the dept. of education list.
