Do I still qualify for the 1098-t form?

I had talked to my counselor before the summer and she suggested that I enrolled in my nearest community college as a freshman in high school to take free college courses over the summer. I filled out the special form and eveeything, but I wasn't able to enroll in any classes so I just forgot about it. But today, I got an email from the admin saying that I had to provide some documents in order to get my 1098-t form. I did a little bit of research but I am still wondering if I still get the form because I never payed anything to them or was even a student.

Hi Ariana!

If you never officially enrolled in classes or paid any tuition, you most likely do not qualify for a 1098-T form. The 1098-T reports payments made for qualified tuition and related expenses, so in your case, there would be nothing to report.

The email have been automatically sent to those submitted enrollment forms. I would suggest contacting the school directly to ask about why they are requesting documents and explain your situation to them.

Form 1098-T shows payments or bills for tuition and related expenses. If you didn't pay or get billed for these expenses during the year, the school might not have anything to report for you.
