I want to know if I need to file my refunds checks that I received in college during 2023 within my taxes. So, how do I get a W2 or worker number to report it?

Are you referring to refund checks that your college gave you because your scholarship was more than your tuition? Or, did you have a student loan and the balance was returned to you?  Please clarify.

A scholarship greater than tuition should have been used on living expenses and should be marked in box 5 of your 1098-T. Any amount larger than room and board plus tuition, books, etc would be taxable income to you. As you go through the program entering your 109-T, it will ask about other scholarships received, you can enter amounts not listed in box 5 there.
