Form 1098-T
The 1098-T form is an annual statement that reports the amount of qualified education expenses paid during the calendar year. The purpose of the form is to assist in determining eligibility for certain education-related tax credits. 

• You do not need your 1098-T unless you are filing for the American Opportunity Tax Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit. Learn more about Education Credits.
• Form 1098-T will be mailed on January 31 from the Accounting Office to the address on file. If you have not received your tax for form by February 15, contact the Office of Accounting for a duplicate form.
• Current students may consent to electronic delivery through Self Service. A notice will be posted to the Student Portal when the electronic forms are available. Proxies do not have access to tax forms.
• Students must have a valid social security number and address on file in the Registrar’s Office by December 15 of the prior year, in order for a 1098-T to be issued.
• There are potentially many reasons why the amounts shown on Form 1098-T do not equal the amount paid.  First, the amount in Box 1 only represents amounts paid for qualified tuition and related expenses and does not include payments for room and board, insurance, parking, or the like.  Secondly, Form 1098-T reports amounts paid in a certain year which may not necessarily correspond to the dates that the classes were attended.  For example, tuition for Spring semester is typically billed and paid in the prior year even though classes do not start until January.  The most accurate source of information about amounts paid for qualified tuition and related expenses will be your Statement, which can be found on your Self Service Portal.
