@Hal_Al I am finally trying to ammend our 2017 tax returns to claim the AOTC for both kids.  Trying to read through all of this to remind myself how I filed everything on our 2018 taxes but still have questions.....and I haven't really gotten to the amendment part...just trying to put the number  off the 1098T in correctly.

 

We have been talking about Box 1 and Box 5 amounts but what if there is no amount entered for box 1 of the 1098T?  For 2017 my son has an amount in box 2 and box 5 but nothing in box 1. Does this still work or is there no need to ammend his?  Thanks.
