Can I claim the education credit even though box 8 on my 1098-T is not checked on the year that I paid the tuition?
I paid tuition for 2018 in 2017. My 2017 1098-T shows the tuition I paid and Box 7 is checked, but Box 8 is not checked. Box 8 IS checked on my 2018 1098-T, however. I am filing an amended 2017 return so I can claim the credit. Can I answer "yes" in response to the "half-time" student question on form 8863 even though Box 8 is not checked? Should I attach both 1098-Ts with my amended return?
