If the IRS is questioning the educational credits and you had a 1098-T form from the school that had the amount *billed* in box 2 and not the amount *paid* in box 1 then the IRS is sending those letters to many taxpayers. What they want is your proof by receipts or other proof of payment that you actually spend the box 2 amount on qualified educational expenses, then they will allow it. Read the letter carefully to see it this is what they are asking for.
