1098T Information

 

No later than January 31, 2005, all eligible students were issued a 1098T form for the 2004 calendar year. Students and parents are advised to use personal financial records to determine the qualifying amount for tax purposes, since the definition of "qualified tuition" may include other related expenses.

1098T FORM FACTS

bulletSome 1098T forms may not contain specific payment information. The law says that schools must send this information to each taxpayer and to the IRS. For the 2004 tax year, this information will include:

(1) the name, address, and taxpayer ID number of the school;

(2) the name, address, and taxpayer ID of the student for whom tuition was paid;

(3) whether the student was enrolled at least half-time; (at least 12 credits per calendar year.)

(4) whether the student was enrolled only in a graduate-level program.

(5) costs for 2004 courses  

Intersession 2004, Spring 2004, Summer1 2004, Summer 2 2004, Fall 2004

bulletThe IRS does not require taxpayers to submit 1098T forms when filing tax returns.
bulletThe education tax credit amount the taxpayer can claim should be based on the taxpayer's personal records.
bulletProfessional tax advisors should be consulted. The College cannot determine if a student qualifies for the tax credit or supply tax advice.
bulletForms will be sent to the student's permanent address on file with the College.
 

According to the IRS, the term "qualified tuition and related expenses" means the tuition and fees an individual is required to pay in order to be enrolled at or attend an eligible institution.
