I just got my 1098-T form from my school and it shows that the school did not bill me for anything or collect any money with blanks in both boxes 1 and 2, but it shows all of my scholarships and financial aid in box five at over 12,000 for the semester. However, I paid out of pocket and that financial aid was given to the school just for the 2016 semester. I have statements from my school showing the billing and distributing of my money for 2016 so why is this blank, and it really messes up my tax return but thousands if it is left blank like this. When I enter the information is wrong and correct it will that change the actual 1098-t form and make it right, or will I just have to send in supporting documents with my taxes to prove it is wrong and what I actually was charged? Also, Will I still get my same return I would if I didn't have to correct this information?
