Hi , I graduated from college in the Spring of 2016. The school required me to pay tuition in advance end of November 2015 for the period up to May 2016. 1098-Ts for 2015 and 2016 only show billed amounts ( box 2 ) with 2016 only showing a minor fee. Tuition for classes attended in 2016 and fees amount to roughly $ 7,500. Since the tuition was prepaid in 2015 the deduction for 2016 is minimal. Is there any way to claim the deduction in 2016 ?
