Tax information (Form 1098-T)

What is the 1098-T form?

The 1098-T form will help determine if you are eligible for an Education Tax Credit. It is an annual statement that provides the amount of tuition charged on your account during the calendar year.

If you had qualified education expenses that were billed during the tax year, a 1098-T form should be mailed to you in January for the prior tax year.

If grants and scholarships exceed the qualifying educational expenses for the same year, you will not receive a statement.

University staff cannot provide tax advice. Tax questions should be referred to a tax advisor or the IRS website.

Why didn’t I receive a 1098-T form for the year?

You may not receive a 1098-T. A few of the reasons are:

• You had no eligible tuition charges billed during the year.
• Your grants and scholarships exceeded the “billed” eligible tuition charges for the year.
• You had adjustments (registration and or financial aid) from the prior year that offset the current year’s billed charges.
• For additional information, please refer to the IRS rules.
• W2 wage and 1042-S tax statements are provided by the Payroll Office.
