I'm using TaxAct to complete my 2017 federal return and need to fill out Form 8863 for educational credits for my son attending a UK university. The university does not have an EIN and cannot provide a 1098-T. I have a letter from the university with the necessary information. My questions are: (1) Will the IRS still provide me a credit if I don't have an EIN for the university? (2) Can I add a note to my return to inform the IRS about the university's lack of an EIN? (3) Is it possible or advisable to attach a PDF copy of the university's letter to verify the information?

I operate a home-based business entirely in my name, but the home mortgage and bills are in my wife's name. I use about 15% of the property for the business. Can I apply that 15% to the mortgage bill and utilities for tax deductions if they are not in my name?
