1098T Frequently Asked Questions

I paid my tuition for the spring semester but received financial aid for the fall semester.  Why didn't I get a 1098T for the spring?

When 1098T forms are processed they look at the payments made for the entire year, not by semester.  If financial aid was equal to or more than your total tuition for the year then you would not be eligible for a 1098T.

I was only enrolled for the spring semester but never received a 1098T.  Why?

If any payments were received for qualified tuition and related expenses in 2006 for an academic period that begins in January through March of 2007 then these payments would have been included on your 2006 1098T.

When are the 1098T forms mailed?

By law, 1098T forms must be postmarked by January 31st. 

My social security number is incorrect on the 1098T.  Can you fix this?

Please contact your local college.  Once they have made the correction to your account then a new form can be processed.

Why wasn't my housing included on the 1098T?

The following are not qualified expenses; Charges and fees for room, board, insurance and transportation.
