My school doesn't want to give me my 1098T tax form and I have been making payments to them every since 2017 and I wanted to know if I can use my receipt for my taxes?

You don't need a 1098-T if any of these apply: 

1. If you or your dependent:

·         Haven't received the 1098-T by January 31, or by the date you file your return (whichever is later).

·         Requested the 1098-T from your school after January 31 but before filing your return.

·         Cooperated with the school's efforts to get the info necessary to send you the 1098-T.

2. If the school is not required to send a 1098-T.

 Just make sure you have your education expenses and enrollment documented to take this credit using one of these exceptions.
