I recently got my 1098-T tax form from my school. And I noticed that it had a student ssn. (which I obviously don't have one) what does that mean? Has anyone had that before?

The SSN sent me a letter the last time I did it. They say that there is something wrong with my SSN blah blah blah... So, I have my doubts if I will do again... I don't want to receive SSN letters again.

You can use this form as a basis for requesting a tax credit when filing taxes with ITIN. You do receive a letter stating that SSN does not exist, but I've ignored it for years, and nothing happens. Thanks to this credit, I was not required to pay any taxes last year, considering that my income was used for tuition expenses.
