Thanks for the response. I guess I'm a still a little confused why I wouldn't be able to use the tuition/fees I paid in 2016 for a semester as a full time student in 2016 for a deduction in 2016. Even though I wouldn't have a 1098-T form, I still have the documentation to show that I paid a tuition bill in January of 2016 for a semester of graduate school in 2016 that hasn't been claimed on taxes previously.
