My son’s college incorrectly completed his 1098-T Box 1 and will not change it (incompetent accountant). If I do his education credit and file manually, which does not require submitting 1098T numbers, the irs won’t see the incorrect amount and all will be fine (but manual filing takes forever).
Turbotax, however, makes me enter his 1098-T numbers, which negates the credit. I’m afraid if I edit their number and turbotax submits this 1098T number (which isn’t required), an automated conflict will show up between what I entered and the form they received.
My question: does turbotax only submit the required education credit form, or do they also submit the 1098T numbers that I enter?
