About Form 1098-T

• Taxpayers should receive Form 1098-T if they were enrolled with an eligible educational institution. 

• Form 1098-T reports tuition paid by the student and scholarships/grants the student received for a tax period.

• If students disagree with the amounts on their Form 1098-T they should consult their educational institution. 

• A 1098-T issued to a student that will be a dependent of another, will be claimed by their guardian if their payments (box 1), exceed their scholarships/grants (box 5). If scholarships/grants exceed payments then the student will claim the 1098-T.
