Hi. I still need more help since I contacted both Advancement Courses and Greenville University and they are stating that they don't think I can claim the expenses under "Expenses and Scholarships" (although they did say that they are not tax professionals).
My questions still remain.
1. I went under "Expenses and Scholarships" like you had mentioned and selected "No" for 1098-T, but then it asked me for a Tax ID number of (I don't remember exactly) the school or place and how much money I spent. I wasn't given a Tax ID number for Advancement Courses (and since they said they don't provide 1098-Ts, I thought I shouldn't look for their Tax ID number) and since I partnered with Greenville University, I looked up their Tax ID number. Since then, Greenville University emailed me stating that I should not use their number because they didn't provide me a 1098-T. So how am I exactly supposed to say no 1098-T and actually qualify for the Life Time Learning Credit if no one says I am allowed to use their tax ID.
I am a teacher. Again, these are courses I took that further my skills and are considered "graduate level" type classes that allow me to move up the salary scale. Advancement Courses partners with local universities for transcripts.
I just need to know if I did my taxes wrong and if I did, now how do I go about fixing them so I don't get fined.
