You  are asking in the education section.  Do you mean form1098  (mortgage interest) of form 1098-T (Tuition).  Either way, you not required to file it.

 

Claiming mortgage interest is optional as it is only an itemized deduction.

 

The 1098-T is only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your tax return. However receipt of a 1098-T frequently means you are either eligible for a tuition credit or deduction or possibly your student has taxable scholarship income.
