Do I need to attach my Form 1098 T with the Form 8917?

If you are referring to e-filing, you do not need to attach any forms including Form 1098-T to your tax return unless the program tells you to do so.  However, you should prepare all the documentation for future use upon IRS's request.  If you are referring to paper-file, you would need to attach the Form 1098-T to your Form 8917.

 

Per IRS, the Tuition and Fees Deduction was extended through the end of 2020. It allows you to deduct up to $4,000 from your income for any qualifying tuition expenses you have paid.  For more information, click here:
