My daughter never received a 1098-T from her school. The school website says that a 1098T will not be sent to her or the IRS and the amounts do not require reporting.

My daughter never received a 1098-T from her school. When we go to the school website it says that a 1098T will not be sent her or the IRS.  It states that  the amounts do not require reporting.  She does not want to get any education credits because the school paid for her tuition.  Is it okay not to report anything on her taxes since she didn't get the 1098T and doesn't want any credits?  She also received a small scholarship.

If she received a refund for any portion of the scholarship and used it on anything other than qualified education expenses, then she would need to report this. If she used any part of the scholarships on room and board, the amount would also need to be reported as it would be considered 

If her expenses (NOT room and board) were exactly equal then she would not have anything to report.

Generally, she would have received some sort of tax form for reportable scholarships.  If she did not it can be entered by:

  1. Clicking Federal
  2. Deductions and Credits
  3. Scroll down and click Show More next to Education
  4. Click Start next to Expenses and Scholarships

Walkthrough ALL of the questions.  It will allow you to enter any education expenses to match the scholarships as well.
