I just got a letter from the irs last night. It's not an audit but they are questioning one line item on my 2006 tax return (yes 2006 not 2007). They are claiming they received nothing from any of my 3 school loan companies. Two of my loan interests are under $600 which is why they did not send anything to the irs. The problem is with the 3rd private loan which entirely went to school. I paid $1800 in interest on it in 2006. Apparently though i needed to file a w-9s form with the school loan company for them to send the irs a 1098-e.
My question is will it be enough to send the irs a form from the loan company saying I paid $1800 of will they not care since i did not file a w-9s form with the loan company first.
