<p>My school says that because they have just received the money from the scholarships and grants that I have received from previous years (2010 and 2011) now, they have put that in my tax form (1098). However, this amount, now, is $20,000 greater than the amount of my tuition.
I’m getting the scholarships because I don’t have enough money to pay for my school’s tuition, but now the IRS will think that I have made money this year because of my school’s weird way of computing my 1098.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what form I can fill out/where I can say how much is from each past fiscal year? Is there a way to do this? The financial office says that there is a form for this, but they didn’t say which one, and I can’t find any information, online, about this.</p>
