The box 1098-T was correct for 2019, but not the Box 1.
The bill for the Spring 2019 semester from the college was received in Dec 2018 and I paid it. But, the college applied some of the expenses for Spring 2019 to the 2018 1098-T and some to the 2019 1098-T. Yet, the college reported ALL of the scholarship for Spring 2019 in 2019.
I am so confused? Why doesn't it ask if the amount in Box 1 is incorrect instead? That would make my life simpler and reflect the reality!
So, are you saying that I can tell TT that some of the aid included amounts not awarded for 2019 expenses? That the amount reported in Box 5 on the 1098-T for 2019 was not all for 2019 since the bill and payment was in 2018, even though the semester was in 2019?
