@Terry53029  " Bob, have you ever been able to get a corrected 1098T ? "

I tell the client to do that.  They're going to college to learn how to be adults like that.  The situation improved in the last couple years when the 1098-T was changed to show only the amounts paid, not billed.  Around here the winter semester was almost always billed in late December but not paid until early January.  

It's still a scam, though, like solar energy credits.  They passed a $2,000 credit, so solar heaters immediately went up in price by $2,000.  They passed a $2,500 tuition credit, so colleges immediately raised tuition by $2,500.
