Hi, thanks for your reply!
My school did issue me a 1098-t in 2021 and they told me they put the tuition I paid in that year, since the payment was made in 2021 Dec. However, I didn't get any education credit last year, even though my box 1 payment number is much higher than the box 5 scholarship number. (I didn't work that year, so maybe that was the reason.)
The $3000 for box 1 was other printing and lab fees they charged and it is reflected on box 1, for the 2022 1098-T form.
I do have school statements saying I made the payment of my tuition for 2022 in 2021, Dec. with the specific amount. But again, the payment was made in 2021 though... Even though it says it is for the Spring semester in 2022, I am not confident if the IRS will take this into consideration.
So am I still allowed take the credit? if so, do I make any changes to my 2021 tax return, since my school put my 2022 tuition amount to that year, 2021?
Please let me know!
Many thanks!
