No. If you graduated, you are not going to receive a 1098T for paying tuition, etc. You will receive a 1098E for your student loan, and you can enter the interest you paid for the loan.

Q. I Graduated from College about a year and a half ago, but I am still paying Student loans. Am I still eligible for a Tuition/Education Credit.

A. No. To be eligible for an education tax credit, you must have taken the class and paid for it in the same tax year.* So, back when you were taking classes, you (or your parents) were eligible for a credit, even if you were paying for it with money from student loans.

*There is one exception: if you pay, in 2023, for classes starting early in 2024, you may claim the tuition credit on your 2023 tax return.
