Hello :(
I'm very stressed. I live in the United States, and it is tax season. I wasn't worried about it, because I'm still a dependent and just got out of university. Nothing to worry about, really.
Until I saw what they did to my 1098T. It shows that I got more scholarships this year than I paid in tuition.
Turns out the reason is because they filed my tuition payment from 2017 (Jan-March) as 2016, but didn't file my scholarships under the same year. They filed them under 2017.
That year (2017), I PAID $10,000+ for tuition for three semesters. 4,000 per regular semester, and 2,500 for the summer that I went to Iceland, which I got no financial help or scholarships for.
But they have it listed that I EARNED $10,000, which is taxable income somehow. I didn't earn anything. I paid what the scholarships didn't cover. The university even said that if I got more scholarships than just what covered the tuition, they would adjust so that I COULDN'T earn anything.
This doesn't even include student loans. I don't have $10,000. Currently I have maybe 100.
I have no idea what to do. I REALLY need to study for my comprehensive exams or I won't officially own my BA. I feel like I'm dying.
I called the University and they insisted that they've done it this way for 40 years, but admitted that this is a common problem.
f*ck
