1098T - do i need to amend?

Any taxpayer who needs to correct their original tax return can file an amendment. You can amend your tax return to include your Form 1098-T because you may be eligible for education credits.

 

Don't make any changes until your tax return is fully processed, which means you have received your refund or if you have a balance due, it's deducted from your account. If your tax return is pending, don't make any changes.
