Thank you, @KrisD15! I came across the same issue. I started school in January 2021 but paid some tuition in 2020. I didn't realize until this year that I got a 2020 1098-T, so I didn't include it in my taxes last year. My 2020 1098-T has nothing in box 2 but it does have an amount in box 1 and box 7 is checked. I am planning to do an amendment to my 2020 taxes.
For 2021, after filling out the step-by-step information, Form 8863 Part III #22 a (3) (Did the student receive Form 1098-T from this institution for 2020 with box 7 checked?) has the answer as NO. But technically I did receive a 1098-T in 2020 with box 7 checked. It sounds like TurboTax puts NO, because box 2 was empty. Is that how it works?
If I amend my 2020 taxes to add the 1098-T, will it be flagged because I said NO on this question in 2021?
