in 2016 or beginning in the first 3 months of 2017. an issue occurs when the costs for early 2016 tuition were billed in 2015, and the educational institution utilizes box 2 of form 1098-t.example: in january 2016, alex pays $6,000 for his final semester of classes. the university alex attends actually billed the tuition payment in december 2015. in may 2016, alex pays certain qualifying expenses amounting to $200. alex receives form 1098-t for 2016. box 1 is blank, and box 2 includes $200.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>how much does alex include on form 8863 as qualifying higher education payments for 2016?<\/p>\n<p>alex utilizes the amounts actually paid in 2016, $6,200, even though the form 1098-t reports only $200.<\/p>\n<p>2) effective for 2016 form 1098-t filings, path eliminated the above issue by removing the option to report aggregate expenses billed for the calendar year. however implementation was delayed for one year.<\/p>\n<p>3) form 1098-t reports the student\u2019s id number, yet if the student is claimed as a dependent on a parent\u2019s tax return, the parent is entitled to the credit. many parents self-preparing their own returns miss this credit as the 1098-t does not include their id number.<\/p>\n<p>4) new for 2016, paid preparers must include form 8867 \u2013 due diligence checklist for any return which includes the american opportunity tax credit. completing the form is not a substitute for actually performing the necessary due diligence and completing all required forms and schedules when preparing the return.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:
