Hi,
I paid for two classes (one started in Jan, 2021, one started in April, 2021)' tuition in 2020 and got the 1098-T from my school. I dropped the class started in April, 2021. The school is mailing me a check for the refund. But I have not received the check yet.
Will the school mail me another1098-T for 2021 showing the refund amount? If yes, is it better to claim the credit for 2020, then claim the income for 2021? That way shows I follow the 1098-T amount in corresponding year? If not, since I have not filed my 2020 tax return yet, should I wait for the check the come and then deduct the refund amount from the 2020 1098-T?
Please advise. Thanks!
