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.

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.

No, we recommend that you consult a tax professional to determine your eligibility.

The University will mail a statement to your home address upon receipt of your request. You can make your request electronically by sending an email to studentaccts@tesu.edu. You can also call (609) 984-4099.
