No, you cannot use your 2019 form 1098-T on your 2020 tax return, even if box 7 is checked.

 

The tuition paid in 2019 for Spring 2020 must be claimed in 2019.

    I didn't file tax return in 2019. Is there way I can still claim credit for my return either in 2019 or 2020?

    Yes, you can file your 2019 return to claim the education credit if you qualify.

    How do I prepare a 2019, 2018, or 2017 tax return?

     

    An education credit helps with the cost of higher education by reducing the amount of tax owed on your tax return. If the credit reduces your tax to less than zero, you may get a refund.

    To report form 1098-T:

    • Login to your account.
    • Select Federal from the left Menu.
    • Go to Deductions and Credits.
    • Scroll down to Education.
    • Select Start next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
