Is the form accompanied by other forms?
IRS 1098-E is not typically accompanied by other forms, but it may be related to IRS Form 1040 or other income tax forms where the student loan interest deduction is claimed. It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to ensure all relevant forms are completed and submitted timely.
