Question: my 1098 t box 1 is blank?
Answer: My 1098T Box 1 is blank. You claim the tuition credit, based on your own financial records, not the 1098-T. On the 1098-T screen, in TurboTax, click on the link "What if this is not what I paid the school" underneath box 1. You will then be able to enter the actual amounts paid.
