My daughter attended Esthetician school in 2025 and the school does not provide 1098-T forms. They tell me other students have successfully filed their taxes with alternate documentation / statements showing tuition paid. I have asked for a Federal ID number and they did not provide that information. So my question is, should I still be able to claim the Lifetime Learning Credit by answering "No" to the question about receiving a 1098-T form? When I do that, TurboTax still forces me to enter a Federal ID and won't let me continue beyond that point.
According to this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/education-credits-aotc-and-llc "The educational institution’s employer identification number (EIN) is not required on your Form 8863."
What am I missing?
