I was a full time student in 2016 for the entire year and received a 1098-T with boxes 2 and 5 filled in and boxes 7 and 8 checked. I reported this information on my 2016 tax return to qualify for the credit. I finished out my degree during the 2017 Spring semester which ran from January of 2018 through my official graduation date of June 30, 2018. I reached out to my school and will not be receiving a 1098-T for 2017 because I received one in 2016 with Box 7 checked.
Am I able to report this on my 2017 taxes since I was a full-time student for 6 months and the semester was in 2017? My statements from the school show that loan disbursements occurred to them on or after January 9. 2017 which means they were paid in 2017 which leads me to believe I may still somehow be able to report this. I can't figure out how to do that appropriately within TurboTax Premier.
I appreciate the assistance with if I can still claim the credit and how to do so within the platform. Please let me know if more detail is needed.
