Question

I paid my son’s tuition for Spring of 2019 in 2018. I received a 1098T 2018 with Box 7 marked in January of 2019. Where do I enter the 2018 1098T?

You enter the 2018 Form 1098-T on your 2018 tax return. Tuition has to be claimed in the year that you paid it, even if it's for the spring semester of the following year.

If you already filed your 2018 tax return, and did not include the tuition that you paid in 2018, you can file an amended 2018 return (Form 1040X) to add it. You cannot include the 2018 1098-T in your 2019 tax return.
