2016 Tax Update: No tuition deduction or credit without Form 1098-T

At least in the past, the tax programs asked if there were scholaships not included, and you just listed the. The tax programs like TurboTax and taxact also asked if the 1098 was correct and you said yes or no and then made corrections. The form for last year for both kids had the scholarships for spring but you can exclude them from the tax year if you are going to pay the tuition for spring after Jan 1.

So I entered the figures off the 1098, said they were wrong, and just used my own numbers. I assume it will be the same going forward.
