If a particular box is not there, you can generally assume it was blank. Brokerages tend to produced a condensed 1099-B to save space: it would be very cumbersome parsing hundreds of pages of a full-IRS-layout 1099-B. In practice, the condi

1098-T forms are notoriously unreliable. Schools will often misclassify or omit scholarships and payments. And you might have additional educational expenses like books that aren't listed in the first place. It doesn't excuse your

My reading of the original comment is that their income is actually too low ; that is, they have access to a 401(k) plan, but wouldn't be able to save $20,500 after paying for all their expenses.
