I am trying to file my taxes. I have a 1098-T with only box 2 filled out but I am using Post 9/11 GI Bill how does this work?

It says that I qualify for Learning Opportunity Credit. I do not if I can use my 1098-T at all since in a technical sense I have not paid the amount listed on the 1098-T VA has.

If your GI benefits paid for all of your college tuition, then you aren't eligible for an additional tax credit, so don't include your 1098-T at all in your tax return.
