Education

If your return has been accepted by the IRS, then you will need to file an amended return in order to include the information on your Form 1098-T.  

 

If your return is rejected for any reason, then you can include the 1098-T information before you resubmit it.

 

Typically, including information about your education expenses is a good thing on your taxes because you may qualify for an education tax benefit.  So it is to your benefit to include the information.  Under certain circumstances, the information on the 1098-T in conjunction with your education expenses can lead to taxable income.  So you do need to include it on your return. 

 

You should wait until your refund has been received before amending your return so that you know the original return has been fully processed.   Then, use the instructions in the following TurboTax article to amend your return:
