we were able to enter 2021 tuition expenses without a form from the school. I do not see that option this year - how do I enter these expenses? I tried filling in the 1098-T as if I actually had one but it is putting this expense in a different place on my taxes.

Why did you not get a 1098-T?

If your son attended an "eligible institution', after answering no to getting a 1098-T, answer yes to qualifying for an exception. You will be allowed to enter your expenses.

The statement, " I tried filling in the 1098-T as if I actually had one but it is putting this expense in a different place on my taxes" doesn't make sense. What are your trying to do? Claim the tuition credit? Offset a 1099-Q? Enter taxable scholarship? Something else?

That would be how you would enter the expenses, as if you did have a 1098-T.

Where are the expenses going?

Did you first enter income so a credit could be applied to your tax?

Have you claimed the American Opportunity Tax Credit four times already?

Had the student earned his/her degree BEFORE 2022?

I think I figured it out. Last year it asked me if I had the form from the school and I said no. Then it took me through questions about the expenses. This year the question was after all the questions.

thanks for the reply.
