IRS sent me a letter saying that I no longer owe them money for Year 2015 after I'd sent them my payment records and the school's receipt acknowledging the payments. I still have Year 2017 to worry about since the the exact same thing could happen again and I'm 99% sure that my school didn't report my tuition payment accurately for that year either. I have saved all the receipts and relative documents for that reason.
I have not heard from the school since. They wouldn't even reply to my inquiry regarding whether they would report my tuition payments accurately for Year 2017. Doesn't that tell me something? These type of for-profit universities have their shady side and likely will preserve the status quo and their own convenience at the expense of students. For now, I'm not reporting them because I'm not sure if I will go back for a master's degree later, but if I get audited for Year 2017, I think I will.
