Thanks CaroIC. Went through the publication 970, still do not get it. In June 2017 the student paid tuition and fee 8000 and received scholarships 6500 for 2017 full semester. In Nov. 2017 the student received same tuition and scholarships for Spring 2018 semester and paid in Dec. 2017. In 1098-T, it only includes these received and paid for 2017 full and leave box 7 unchecked. If we can included what paid for 2018 Spring semester the student can maximize the AOC, otherwise the student only get $1500. Like to know in which condition that the student can include these 2018 Spring semester payment? Thanks.
