My son is a first-year student at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Will I get a 198T from them, and if not, how can I find their Federal ID no.?

A school in another country is not going to have a Federal ID

I also have a student at the University of St. Andrews.  The school does have a US Federal School code for the FAFSA, but it does not work on the Turbo Tax online form.  Have you found a way to take the tax credit through Turbo Tax?
