I used my GI Bill for education however I did not receive from my school nor the VA a form showing how much was paid for my education.

GI Bill benefits are non-taxable and the VA does not report them to you. 

If any GI Bill benefits were paid directly to your school for payment of tuition, they will be included in Box 5 of Form 1098-T. You would have to check with your school's finance department to see if that applies.

If any GI Bill benefits were paid directly to your school (included in Box 5) and used for school costs, (e.g. tuition, books), see the attached screenshot example on how to answer the interview. If they were applied to school room and board, do not include them on this screen (see sample)

Important: If you received GI Bill benefits paid directly to you and did not use them for qualified education expenses (e.g. room and board), do not include them on the subsequent interview. (see attached screen shots)
