If your school billed your for 2016 classes in 2015, and you want the 2016 tax credit, then:
This is how to claim the credit in 2016:
If you received form 1098-T, then enter this information in TurboTax. Below Box 2. Amounts billed for tuition, you will see a sentence in blue, What if this is not what [the student] paid to this school? Click on that link, and you will be able to enter the amount actually paid.
If you didn't receive a 1098-T, you can still enter the amount of tuition paid for Spring 2016 (or the amount unclaimed from 2015, whichever is lower). Just tell the program No, you didn't receive Form 1098-T, and it will guide you through the necessary info.
