Hi,

My daughter is currently at University in the UK and the college does issue me a 1098-T (when I ask for it anyway), but they do not send a copy it to the American IRS (which I did not know).

This year I was audited for the 2020 return by the IRS because they had not received the 1098-T.  So I had to send it as an amendment to 2020 Tax document.  To prevent this happening again I wanted to attach my copy of the 1098-T to my Turbotax return.  Is this possible?

My IRS Audit was painful and I do not want to go through that again 😞

If it is not possible what other options do I have?

Thanks

Q.  I wanted to attach my copy of the 1098-T to my Turbotax return.  Is this possible?

A. Only if you mail in a paper return, instead of e-filing. 

 

If the 2020 "audit" was resolved in your favor, it is unlikely to happen again.
