Thanks for the quick reply! I left for a snack and came back and that form had added itself with no issue, oddly enough. Your other advice is relevant to my second form, though. I attended two schools in 2023; the first one, the one I posted about, was the community college I graduated from. As for the second…
box 1 on this 1098-T is $100. However, when I finish it to move on, it lists my entire tuition as $100, which was actually around $4000, and naturally if I correct it so that it says my correct tuition amount that means I’d be altering the form info. To my knowledge, the $100 is simply the application fee I paid (applied to the school late as they extended their deadline, which I paid in last spring 2023) as I really didn’t pay another cent.
As for the other things you mentioned, I’m currently 25, was 24 and 25 (Nov birthday)during the relevant semester, have lived on my own for a little over four years, and my parents haven’t contributed anything towards my tuition, rent, etc. Both of them are alive but I’ve been 100% self supporting. You might have guessed but I’m terrible at doing my taxes, so not sure what MFJ is. As for the 22%, if that means bottom 22% of income, that should apply to me as I’m so broke I’m on Medicaid and get 100% of the allowed allotment for EBT/food stamps. I technically have two jobs but often barely make rent, or even make less than my rent. I’m dealing with medical issues that make it hard to work or attend school full time, I won’t bore you with irrelevant details. Long story, but yeah, no to 1 and 3 for sure on your question list.
as for box 1, is it just poorly labeled, and TurboTax doesn’t mean my tuition, but rather, just how much I’ve paid? Assuming the application fee counts as part of the paid tuition, I guess…?
