Nephew's wife registered for school in December 2019 -- BUT NO MONEY WAS PAID TO THE SCHOOL until January 2, 2020. When they received their 1908-T dated 2020 it was missing the money paid for the January-May 2020 semester. They NEVER received a 1098-T for 2019. SO, do we have to file an amended 2019 tax return to claim that even though the money was not paid to or received by the school until January 2020. The school is being a jerk about helping with this issue. I feel it should go on the 2020 tax return. But, looking at previous comments on this, I am assuming I will have to help him file an amended 2019 return. This is a substantial amount of money.
