I received a notice from IRS they can’t verfiy my education tax credit with school. I’ll have to pay $2416... I didn’t have 1098T on file I look at the school website. I was enrolled all 3 semesters in 2017. I had pell grant and OBG wavier for the first two semesters then I lost it. I had out of pocket school expenses like books, tools I needed for classes. Should I amend my taxes on turbo tax for 2017? Or disagree with IRS send in letter with bank statements?

A 1098-T is not required if you have other proof that you were enrolled and paid for education. It should be a qualified school if you had a pell grant. Answer the letter with a dispute and sent (copies) of your proof.

What exactly do I need to send as proof? I have received a similar letter.

Just read everything in the letter first. Then type www.idverify.irs.gov in your browser and click on it. once you're there it's going to give you more instructions on how to identify yourself and all you have to do is answer them truthfully and the same exact way that they look on your taxes.
