I received a 2017 1098-T with only a Scholarship or Grants value (Box 5). Everything else was blank. I graduated in May 2017 and paid for Spring 2017 tuition in December 2016. The scholarship amount was posted in 2017. The amount that I paid in December was included in the 1098-T for 2016. Now, it looks like I have an income of the scholarship amount for 2017, which is incorrect. How do I go about filing this without being taxed on the scholarship amount as income, which was suppose to be tax free? If my 2017 expenses/tuition was already claimed in 2016, can I ignore the 1098-T for 2017 even though I received it from school?
