I never received a 1098-T via USPS, but I was able to find it online.I received grants & my employer provided tuition assistance. I paid very little if anything for schooling. Do I still need to complete the 1098-T since I didn't personally pay for schooling? I don't want to report something and get a tax credit when I wasn't the one that paid for schooling.  So I guess my main question is: Do I have to report the 1098-T if I didn't pay for the schooling?

if your grant or scholarship exceeded the tuition, you will not get a credit, you may owe tax.

you may still get deductions for books and equipment.

No I didn't get more grant funding then tuition.  The remaining balance was paid for by my employer therefor I had a 0 balance. So do I even need to report the 1098-T?
