If 1098t form for 2017 box 1&2 is empty but there is amount in box 5 for scholarship not much $8,000. The tuition was billed in Dec 2016 and on the 2016 - 1098T. The tuition was for 2017 but was included in the 1098T 2016 form (box 7 was checked). Can I still claim tuition for 2017 even though boxes 1 & 2 are empty? How does all of this affect my 2017 return?
