So I was a student in Spring 2021 and I made my final tuition payment in January '21 for that semester. I didn't receive a 1098-T. Can I still claim that tuition payment as a deduction in TurboTax? I asked why I didn't get a 1098-T and my school told me:
"A 2021 1098-T was not generated because we billed Spring 2021 charges in December 2020. This impacts Spring 2021 graduating students’ 1098-T because the reportable Spring 2021 Qualified Tuition and related expenses (QTRE) that are related to payments made in calendar year 2021 were reported on your 2020 1098-T. Charges and payments are reported on the 1098-T based on the date assessed or paid in the student information management system. Since the charges were previously reported in 2020, the system did not have QTRE to associate the payment made in 2021."
Thank you!
