College filing

So my question is I'm a full time college student so is my husband. Our jobs pay for our college tuition well most of it each semester and the rest is paid for with federal pell grants financial aid etc. Except none of tbe money is given to us. We chose to have it all sent directly to the college so we weren't responsible for paying anything back. So my concern is is there anything that we have to claim on our taxes? Do we even need to out that we are in college. Is there anything we need to file since we pay nothing directly. Just don't want my taxes held up and I've contacted our financial aid advisers for 2 weeks now and no response thanks.

College filing

 

 

If you do not pay any qualified education expenses out of pocket, you do not need to report any education information on your taxes.  Therefore, you do not need to file any education tax forms like Form 1098-T, Form 8863 or Form 8917 along with your Form 1040.
