2011 Tax Credit Statements

The 2011 tax credit statements (1098-T form) have been mailed and the information is available on-line at www.1098-t.com. The 1098-T statements can be viewed or printed from this website. A 1098-T form has not be issued if the amount of free aid is more than the amount of tuition and fees that were charged on the student account.

For example: If the total free aid (Pell grant, scholarships, employer aid, etc) for the tax year 2011 is equal to or greater than the total tuition and fees charged to a student account for the tax year 2011, the student didn't have any out-of-pocket expense therefore a 1098-T statement would not be issued.
