I assume you are talking about a 1098-T?

Hopefully the box is checked that you are at least half time student.

There are two different tuition deduction methods that I know of. These are credits actually, not deductions. Credits are much better... One is the Hope Credit and another is the Lifetime Learning Credit. Technically there are other ways to deduct tuition but the rules for those are very narrow.
