I did not receive a 1098-T from my University because the University said the amounts did not require reporting to me or the IRS. I did not pay any expense out-of-pocket; the entire semester was paid for by scholarships from the University. Still, when I reported all of the amounts in my TurboTax return (amount paid for education expenses, amount of scholarships, amount used for room and board, and course materials expenses), it says I qualify for the American Opportunity Credit. I have never received this credit before and want to make sure that I really do qualify before claiming this credit.
