AOTC - Canadian college - ATX won't accept school's Canada zip code

[BobbyCPA]

Anybody encounter this situation? Is a paper tax return required?

[BobbyCPA]

An ATX representative just told me that I need to paper file because the software won't accept a foreign address on the Form 1098-T input screen.

Robert 1:14:15 p.m. ATX does not recognize the address.

Miguel 1:16:00 p.m. Our system will not be able to accept the foreign address

Robert 1:16:42 p.m. So do I need to file a paper tax return?

Miguel 1:17:22 p.m. Yes due to the issue, the return will need to be paper file

Does the Canadian University participate in our student aid program?

Judy has a great point.  The foreign school must be on the list of eligible foreign institutions.  The school will know; I don't know how else to find it.  But I had a client who took a specialty course in eastern Europe a year or two ago; that school wasn't on the list so we had to forego any credits.
