1098 for college

[rjs]

Form 1098 is for mortgage interest. I think you mean Form 1098-T, which is for college tuition. They're not the same.

If you are claiming a credit or deduction for the children's college tuition, you have to get the 1098-T forms from their father, or have the children get copies from the college. You need other information from the forms besides the EIN of the college.
