Hello I have been unable to figure this out.  I also am not sure if it will be a big deal maybe I should just file as is.

 

My 2018 1098T has box 7 chceked which means my 2018 paid tuition applies to 2019 spring semester, but I had no tution payments in 2019 so I have no 2019 1098T.

 

On form 8863 section 22-2 and -3 I can not figure out how to uncheck 2 but not 3.  There seems to be no way to indicate a 1098T from 2018 with box 7 checked but no 2019 1098T.  You can only check them both or none at all.

 

Is there any way to show I have a 2018 1098T with box7 checked but no 2019 1098T?  I tried deleting the deduction and starting over sever times and no line of questioning seems to go through that circumstance.

    okay I actually just figured it out lol, I went to forms view, clicked the 8863 page 2.  Right clicked the form and selected the option override and it allowed me to uncheck the 2019 1098T and leave the 2018 1098T with box 7 checked in place.
