Education
Is this the student's first year?
If not, you might look at the 1098-T from tax year 2022 and see if the Winter 2023 was billed December 2022 and included in Box 1 of the 2022 1098-T.
If it is, and it was paid in 2023, you can adjust the 1098-T to reflect that correction, however that might mean that the 2022 1098-T would need correcting as well.
If you are claiming the American Opportunity Tax Credit, that credit maxes out with 4,000 expenses.
If you received that credit for tax year 2022 and need to adjust the expenses (to move them to tax year 2023) if the adjustment results in you still having 4,000 in expenses to apply to the credit for 2022, there would be no need to amend the 2022 return.
Use the "What if this is not what I paid?" link under Box 1 on the 1098-T entry screen to adjust if necessary.
(Schools had been reporting what was billed, but they need to report what was paid. This changed back in 2017 but some schools still do not get it right)
