Q. Do I have to file my 1098 T form?

A. No. The 1098-T is only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your tax return. However receipt of a 1098-T frequently means the parent or student is eligible for a tuition credit or possibly the student has taxable scholarship income.

Here's a post on the five main points on the 1098-T:

Are you being claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return? If so, the Form 1098-T and other education expenses are entered on the tax return of the person claiming you as a dependent.
