I received my 1098-T letter (mailed to me on 3/20/06) after I filed last year (2005), because the school included my Spring 2006 term on my 1098-T statement. (Apparently, that's how they do it.) As I prepare my taxes this year (2006) can I claim the tuition this year as I didn't claim it last year? I registered in 2005, but the classes started in January 2006...
Do I need to re-file last year's taxes with the updated amount? Or should I put the amount towards this year, and save the forms that say "Begins in 2006"? We are talking about 5K that I'd like to get some cash back for...
