Education

 No, if you did not have qualified expenses, there is nothing to report. Specific Instructions for Form 1098-T states: You do not have to file Form 1098-T or furnish a statement for:

  • Courses for which no academic credit is offered, even if the student is otherwise enrolled in a degree program;

  • Nonresident alien students, unless requested by the student;

  • Students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are entirely waived or paid entirely with scholarships; and

  • Students for whom you do not maintain a separate financial account and whose qualified tuition and related expenses are covered by a formal billing arrangement between an institution and the student’s employer or a governmental entity, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense.

If you paid in Jan 2021 for classes in 2020, then 1098-T would be 2021 and there would not be a form for 2020.
