1098-T Form
The 1098-T tax form has the information you, or whomever claims you on their tax return, will need for the tuition and fees deduction and/or an education credit. This IRS form is entitled "Tuition Statement." You can view or print the form from OneStop. If you are having trouble logging into your OneStop account, you can contact GovsTech at 931-221-HELP (4357).
We use the 1098-T form to report information about our students to the IRS, as required by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. We are required to submit each student's name, address and taxpayer identification number (TIN), enrollment and academic status. We also must report to the IRS information concerning amounts pertaining to qualified tuition and related expenses, as well as scholarships and/or grants, taxable or not.
How do I use the 1098-T form?
We provide a 1098-T form to each applicable student that has any charges or scholarships/grants during that calendar year. This form is for informational purposes only, and alerts students that they may be eligible for federal income tax education credits. This form should NOT be considered as tax opinion or advice. While it is a good starting point, the 1098-T, as designed and regulated by the IRS, does not contain all of the information needed to claim a tax credit. There is no IRS requirement that you must claim the tuition and fees deduction or an education credit. Claiming education tax benefits is a voluntary decision for those who qualify.
