I paid my son's college tuition for Sp 2018 however I received his 1098-T and box 1-2 were blank. Are schools not required to report our payments on the 1098-T anymore

Schools are required to report your payments by IRS. I am not sure why they did not do so. But no worries as we have a workaround in the program.

Here are the steps:

Sign into your account and select Take me to my return
At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in 1098t and Enter
Select Jump to form 1098T
On screen, "Do you want to enter your higher education expenses?" answer Yes.
Follow prompts
On the Form 1098-T replica screen, under Box 1, click on " What if this is not what I paid to this school?"

Please see the attached screenshot
