Can I enter a foreign address for the university where my son is studying?

[jackcito2000]

The form will only accept a US address, but my son is studying in a university in Mexico.

Did they send Form 1098-T?

If the school sent Form 1098-T and there is no US address to use (no counterpart school in US) use your address to get through the program.

HERE is a link that lists the approved school 

[jackcito2000]

Thank you for your reply. Are there foreign universities that issue a Form 1098-T?

[jackcito2000]

The DAPIP database only includes US educational institutions.

[DaveF1006]

Yes, this may be true. The foreign university must participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. If there were not -listed in the DAPIP, then these foreign institutions are not eligible for claiming the educational credit.

[jackcito2000]

The DIPAP only includes US educational institutions, but last year I saw a list of universities that were accepted by the IRS. It included my son's university and many other international universities.

[DaveF1006]

It depends. It looks like the DIPAP policy may have changed. You may try to contact the US Dept of Education to ask why their policy has changed from last year to this year regarding foreign educational institutions. 

[jackcito2000]

The IRS and the Department of Education were not very helpful, but according to DeepSeek, my son's university is eligible for US federal student aid and therefore qualifies for the tax credits. I'm not yet sure Turbotax will be able to deal with this situation.

[DaveF1006]

II depends. DeepSeek is an artificial intelligence platform thus not a reliable source. The Department of Education is the most reliable source.
