@Hal_Al Amending: Whether to do so?
It figures that I have a follow-up question. I was working on amending 2020's tax return once I was home for the summer and could have my folks' help. When I get all through entering the corrected numbers based on what we learned in preparing 2021's (with the misleading 1098T figured out), it isn't going to change how much tax I owe or would be refunded. Some threads seem to indicate that submitting the amended return with no change in the outcome is not to be done. Yet, without amending I would in essence be claiming to have paid some of the charges twice, in 2020 & again in 2021. I wonder if I put myself at risk of audit.
** Should I proceed with amending to properly reflect charges paid and the different income amount?
** If yes, what is recommended for 'explanation of changes' (reason for amending)? Increasing income scholarships?
Thank you!
