Q. Is there a way that I can receive that form outside of them?
A. No. If you have an online account with the school, you may be able to get it there.
Q. Am I able to file it (a 2021 1098-T) on my 2022 year tax return?
A. No, you must file an amended 2021 return to claim an education credit for your 2021 tuition.
You may be able to file without a 1098-T, if you know, for sure, your school is an "eligible institution". When asked, in TT, if you have a 1098-T, answer no. Then answer yes to do you qualify for an exception.
To be eligible for the tuition credits, the course must be taken at "an eligible institution". The school should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution. In general, an eligible educational institution is an accredited college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution, including accredited, public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately-owned, profit-making) postsecondary institutions. Additionally, in order to be an eligible educational institution, the school must be eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the Department of Education. If they issue a 1098-T they are probably an eligible institution.
