Please be aware that the Form 1098-T is for informational purposes only. This form, which the IRS requires universities to provide to students by January 31st, and is intended to help you determine potential eligibility for education tax credits.
Key things to understand about the 1098-T:
- You are not required to file the 1098-T with your tax return.
- Its purpose is not to report scholarship income to the IRS.
- Its primary purpose is to help you understand the payments you made for qualified tuition and other related expenses, which you might be able to use when claiming education tax credits.
Remember, the 1098-T reflects financial activity from January 1st to December 31st. You may need your personal billing statements and other receipts for accurate tax preparation.
The university cannot provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional for guidance on your specific situation and eligibility for tax credits.
