If you paid the spring 2018 tuition in 2017, you can claim it as education expenses in 2017 even if it is not reported on form 1098-T.
In TurboTax, when
filling out your form 1098-T, enter
only the amount in Box 2, even if both boxes 1 and 2 are filled.
Under box 2, on the
1098-T screen is a blue link: What if this is
not what (student name) paid to the school? Click on that and you will
be given a chance to enter what was actually paid in 2017.
