About Student Tax Forms - 1098T

The University is required by law to send out 1098-Ts to all students who were billed qualifying tuition and fees. Students may be eligible to claim an educational tax credit.

For additional instructions and to view a sample form, visit www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1098t.pdf.

The best source of information on the educational tax credits is directly from the IRS. The information can be found in IRS publication 970 Tax Benefits for Education.

Yes. Regardless of how you receive your 1098-T, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires a complete mailing address on the tax form. The University cannot produce an electronic or paper 1098-T Tax Form if there is missing address information, such as a street, state or zip code.

Review and/or update your mailing address.
