Hello,
I was wondering if somebody can help me as my school is not cooperating. I was issued a 1098 – T form in 2018 and I have always used financial aid and grants for my school but I still receive a 1098 form and a letter saying that I can qualify for the American opportunity tax credit. So now for my 2021 taxes I went to a tax preparer for the first time who had mentioned this form to me and then I remembered back in 2018 I received this form but had not received it since and I have been in school as a full-time student for the last two years. I did see on the exemptions listed and a comment that the school does not have to send one out if you had grants but I had grants back in 2018 (no out of pocket expenses) and still received one and qualified for the American opportunity tax credit so wouldn’t I still qualify for that same tax credit now and get the 1098 form? These are the questions that I attempted to address my school about but unfortunately the student manager was uncooperative and actually hung up on me after telling me she has other students to worry about. I feel pretty lost and would appreciate any guidance! I know this is an old forum but I was hoping someone can help me out who was having similar issues.
Thank you for anyone who can help!
