Would my T-1098 box #1 be blank if i had student loans?

[DexterS · Accepted solution]

Yes, quite possibly. 

Box 1 is "Payments Received"

Box 2 is "Amount Billed"

It's quite common to see amounts in Box 2 and nothing in Box 1.

What you are allowed to take credit for is the amount you paid, even if you used money you borrowed.
