<human>: Hello, first time posting. 

I'm 24 years old and received a letter in the mail yesterday questioning my education credits for 2013. The American opportunity credit is listed on here. It's requesting for me to sent a form 1098t or to pay $2,400. I did my taxes myself using turbo tax. Bad I know. I remember I looked over the requirements for that credit and saw that I met the basic requirements. So I put down what I had spent on school. But I have no receipts or basically any proof to show. I do not have expenses on a 1098t. I received financial aid.  I understand it's wrong now but what concerns me is that I was so easily able to do this on turbo tax. If I didn't have that 1098 form, why should I have even been able to receive the credit? Since I put down I receive financial aid, shouldn't that have disqualified me automatically? Is there anything I could do to lessen the amount or reason with the IRS? Should I get represented? I don't make a lot of money. I just started working again and paying off my credit card debt. Didn't even touch my school loan. I have no immediate family that could help me with this so I feel really screwed right now. Any advice is appreciated.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: used turbotax to file my 2013 taxes and received a credit I should not have. Now owe 2,400 dollars. Is there anything I could do?
