Hi,

I attended a Truck Driving School in OH for 5 weeks and paid around $5000. But the school didnt send me the form of 1098 T. I asked them, but they said they are not required to send it to students. I have the Receipt but not 1098 T form.

How can I show my expenses without 1098 T form?

Yes, you can still enter your expenses to see if you qualify for any education credits or deduction. To enter them, proceed through the education section of TurboTax as normal.

When you are in your return Click the search icon (magnifying glass in the top right-hand corner)
Search for "1098T" and click the "jump to 1098T" link that appears
This will bring you to the Education Expenses section where you can add a student and related Form 1098-T information

When you come to the screen asking if you received a Form 1098-T, simply answer “no” to that question and proceed with the rest of the interview. You will be able to enter the amount of tuition and fees paid to the school.

You don't need a 1098-T if any of these apply:

1. If you or your dependent and haven't received your 1098T, but have requested it.

2. If the school is not required to send a 1098-T.

Just make sure you have your education expenses and enrollment documented to take this credit using one of these exceptions.
