ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app sends the IRS Form 1098-T tuition statement to the student's permanent home address prior to January 31. This statement reflects the Box 1 amount payments or adjustments up to the cost of the applicable tuition and related fees (not room and board) to the student for the tax/calendar year. Box 5 reflects the amount of any scholarship/grant awarded or adjustment to the student for that same tax year. If Box 4 or Box 6 are populated, adjustments were made in the selected tax year for a prior year.
The IRS also requires ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app to obtain the student's taxpayer identification number (social security number - SSN or individual taxpayer identification number - ITIN) to file the 1098-T form.

Loan Interest Payment Statement 1098E
IRS Form 1098-E is sent to students/parents with educational loans from loan servicing agencies. This statement provides the interest paid for the tax year for educational loans. Although this interest may be deductible, lending institutions are not required to send them out if the interest amount is less than $600.00 for the tax/calendar year. If your loan account is enrolled in E-billing with the loan servicer, you will need to log onto the loan portal to retrieve the form.
