My D goes to UVM. Last year the 1098-T only included 65% of the comprehensive fee on the 1098-T. I asked about it and the school said not all of the fee was a qualified expense. However, it is not negotiable, we have to pay it. In publication 970, qualified expenses are described as :"Tuition, required enrollment fees, and course materials that the student needs
for a course of study whether or not the materials are bought at the educational institution as a condition of enrollment
or attendance."
So the entire comp fee has to be paid as a condition of enrollment but the school says only some of the fee is for qualified expenses.
I wonder if I can include the whole comp fee in qualified expenses.
Anyone have experience with this?
