Thank you for your replay. I am trying to understand the answer better. Are you saying that because I already paid taxes on those $5000 in 2023, I can now claim credit for 2024? Also, I already took educational credit last year when those $5000 were included in my income. It’s tricky for me because employer counted the payments made during 2023, but school actually counted what was for each semester.
In 2024 I have not paid anything out of the pocket. Everything was paid by the grant. But because these $5000 are now reported on 2024 1098-T I am eligible for educational credit? I do have a proof of payment, but I am just concerned not to “double dip”.
