Hello:
I was on an F1 visa from Aug 2004 to May 2005 when I graduated. I paid full tuition for the Spring 2005 semester. I am currently on an H1B visa (beginning Oct 1st 2005).
I would like to wait until June and file as a resident under first year choice so that I can get the $4000 education deduction. However, I don't have a form 1098-T. My university did not issue one to me because of my non-resident status. Can I claim the tuition deduction without that form ? If so, how will I prove to them that I really paid the tuition that I am claiming ?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Bhavna.
