@TurboTaxAnthony - one last thing...the way I read this was that the grace period was given so school's can update their software that creates and sends the tuition statements out so they can use box 1. I'm not sure why that is really a thing, given it sounds as though there was always an option to choose between them, though assume the software is limited in some way, even if the 2018 form has it grayed out, if a school has not updated their software, then will they be forced to adopt that change? Do they have to download a 2018 template from the IRS to use that will prevent them from entering info into box 2? Sorry for the additional questions. I just want to make sure my school follows through (as like you said, they are probably not penalized for non-compliance). Thanks again!
