Education

Please clarify which years you're referring to. 

Did you pay in 2023 or 2024?

 

Is this what is on your 2024 Form 1098-T

Box 1      20,000

Box 5      81,000

Box 4       4,200

 

Is the 20,000 in Box 1 20,000 ADDITIONAL Paid in 2024 for classes in 2024 or 20,000 that you originally paid? 

 

When you say "back-pay" did it back pay for expenses you paid in the same year or a previous year? 

 

I THINK you're saying you paid in 2023 and the scholarship posted on the 2024 Form 1098-T is including the 20,000 that was reimbursing you for the 20,000 you paid in 2023. 

 

If yes, then was there was another 20,000 tuition for 2024?

Did you get an education credit for tax year 2023? 

 

And what is the 4,200 adjustment for?
