My 1098-T Form for 2016 has my expenses for the Spring 2017 school year added in along with my 2016 expenses for the Spring and Fall semesters. Box 7 is checked and explains that the amount in box 2 includes expenses for an academic term beginning in January 2017 (the current spring semester). I will be paying for this expense in 2017 and would like to have the tax credit for the tuition I pay to be applicable the next 2017 tax return. I think that this issue is going to royally screw me over if the tuition for the current semester isn't present on my 2017 1098-T, especially because the added cost of the current semester doesn't actually increase my 2016 return because I am already getting back the vast majority of the taxes I paid in 2016. So, in short, my question is: Will the cost of tuition for the 2017 Spring Semester still appear on my 2017 1098-T, even though it has already appeared on my 2016 1098-T? And if not, is there any way to correct this issue so that it can appear on my 2017 1098-T. Thanks in advance to anyone who lends a hand!
