<p>I’m confused! I received my 2007 1098-T two weeks after I had filed for my taxes, I wasn’t aware that I could use that and wasn’t told by the schools Financial Aid Dept. that I was going to receive it. Now, that I know this, can I still file last years 1098-T along with this years 1098-T?</p>
<p>File an amended Federal tax return for 2007 with the 1098-T information for 2007, and then file an amended State tax return that accounts for the changes due to the changes in the Federal return. The Feds will refund you any over-paid taxes, I expect that the state will too.</p>
<p>Then, file your Federal tax return for 2008 with the 1098-T for 2008.</p>
<p>I’ve had to file amended returns for multiple reasons over the years. The paperwork is pretty straight forward. Just be sure to double-check whether it is best for you to use the Tuition Deduction or the Tax Credit.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
