Oh, I know, it included tuition and fees for fall and spring semesters but not May term. Really? Is it that difficult or does the school just put the same amount on everybody’s form. Tuition and fees for 2017 was _____. There you all go. Obviously, I can print the itemized bill, which does include the amount for May term. But still…
Oh, and a question for @BelknapPoint or anyone else who knows…payments made to a second school, like for a summer course at cc, still QEE, right?
Was the May term paid to the same school? My D did semester abroad and only learned after receiving the 1098T that it is not all ‘seamless’, that even though the school sponsors the trip, the courses are the school’s courses, the professors the school’s professors, the FA through the school, the tuition is not through the school.
You should receive a different 1098t from the second school.
May term was paid to the same school (summer was not, so no, didn’t expect that one to be included, and did get a 1098T from the cc for the summer course). May term is on the itemized bill, but the amount wasn’t included on the total on the 1098T. Now, as this is my 7th year of these, I’m used to them being wrong.
TurboTax let’s you fill in the 1098T the way it is and then asks what you actually paid in QEE in 2017.
Is the May term part of another aid year?
Next year I hope it will be easier because the schools are supposed to report what QEE was actually paid in 2018, not what was billed.
Just so y’all are aware: It’s not all that easy for schools to do the 1098-T. Just saying.
It depends on what the payments are for, where the money is coming from, and which definition of QEE applies.
