If you filed your 2024 return with education information from a 1098-T rather than claiming a deduction for student loan interest on 1098-E, you can amend your 2024 return and correct it. See

If your return for 2024 is correct, it may be a labeling error. As long as you have your records and the return is correct, no worries.

A 1098-E usually gets you a student loan interest deduction (line 21 on the 2024 Schedule 1). The 1098-T usually gets you a tuition credit* (line 3 of the 2024 Schedule 3 and/or line 29 of form 1040).

If you didn't get what you were supposed to and/or got something you weren't allowed, you'll need to file an amended return.
