The 2018 1098-T shows more money in scholarships/grants than tuition due to it only including one semester tuition vs two for scholarships/grants. This disqualifies us from the AOTC and may force my son to declare the difference as income. Until this year, the school reported billed tuition, but now had to change to paid.
Can I override the 1098-T as allowed in TT? Will that cause a problem?
Do we have to go back and correct the tax returns from 2015 onward to change the tuition amounts to billed so it matches the scholarships/grants time periods?
Thanks
