When entering a child's 2019 form 1098-T college tuition info: TT asks for the "Filer's Federal ID #, but the 1098-T only has a box with "employer ID #." Please advise what to do in this situation.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
The program is asking for the info from the 1098-T ... from the issuer of the form ... not for your information ... the Filer's ID and Filer's employer ID is the same thing ... they are interchangeable.
So, in answer to my question, you are telling me to "use the Filer's employer ID #. It's confusing b/c TT uses DIFFERENT LANGUAGE and doesn't explain clearly.
