After you file

If you already e-filed your tax return and the IRS accepted it for processing, you have to wait until it has been fully processed to add anything to it.    Then you can amend and use Form 1040X for amending.   It is not clear whether you should be putting the "form from going to school" on your return or if your parents should be using it.

 

 

 

 Were you the student?   Were you claimed as a dependent by your parents?   If so, the parents who can claim you as a dependent are the ones who can use the 1098T on their tax return to get the education credit.   Dependents cannot get education credits.   Or.....was there any scholarship money on that tax document?
