Some schools bill the Spring semester of 2017 in the last semester of 2016 and report it in box 2 of the 2016 form 2016.
Your 2017 form 1098 does not show that spring semester of 2017 again in box 2. If you actually paid that semester in 2017, you can change the amount of tuition that you paid in TurboTax.
In TurboTax, when
filling out your form 1098-T, enter
only the amount in Box 2, even if both boxes 1 and 2 are filled.
Under box 2, on the
1098-T screen is a link: What if this is not
what (student name) paid to the school? Click on that and you will be
given a chance to enter what was actually paid in 2017.
