2018 1098-T With Box 7 Checked and 2019 is unchecked
Hi, so recently I found out that I did not get an American Opportunity Tax Credit in 2018, I spoke to the place that prepped my taxes and was told they made a mistake and will amend to get the money I missed. My question is I went to school for a semester in the fall in 2018 and then a spring semester in 2019. My 2018 1098-T has the box 7 checked and it says Checked if the amount in box 1 includes amounts for an academic period beginning Jan-March 2019. On my new 2019 1098-T is says Checked if the amount in box 1 includes amounts for an academic period beginning Jan-March 2020 but it is not checked. So will I only be able to claim the credit for 2018? or can I do both years since I went to school two different semesters and two different years. All of this was paid out of pocket
