It is important to note that the purpose of the 1098-T is to support any claim for educational credit. The amount reported in Box 1 is for informational purposes and might be different than the amount you actually paid or are deemed to have paid. If you feel there is a discrepancy, file your IRS forms with the information you determine to be correct.

No, the college does not include amounts paid for books in Box 2 of Form 1098-T. You should consult with your tax advisor to determine if payments for books, equipment or fees should be considered when preparing your income tax returns and determining eligibility for education tax credits or deductions.

Forms are available for printing online through myGOCC. If you’d rather get a printed copy mailed to your home address of record, please send your request via email to the Senior Accountant. Please allow 7-14 days for processing and mailing. In order to safeguard your most vital personal information, forms cannot be emailed, faxed, or picked up by anyone other than the student.

Some May 2021 graduates will not be issued a 2021 1098-T Form because there is a possibility that payments for Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses for winter 2021 was made on or before December 31, 2020. The 2021 Winter semester tuition charges are generally billed and posted in November 2020 and therefore, would have been included on the 2020 1098-T Form.

1098-T Form reports payments received from the student for qualified tuition and related expenses (Box 1) during the preceding calendar year. However, if the student receives scholarships, grants and/or sponsorships in the preceding year in excess of the amounts they paid for qualified tuition and related expenses, the college is not required to issue a 1098-T Form to the student. When determining your eligibility for education related tax credits and deductions, you will need to report the amount you paid for qualified tuition and related expenses. Therefore, your Term Fee bills will be the best and most accurate source of information for amounts paid for qualified education and related expenses. This is true regardless of whether you receive a 1098-T Form or not.

• Payments for courses for which no academic credit is offered, even if the student is otherwise enrolled in a degree program.
• Enrolled student is a nonresident alien, unless request by the student
• Students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are entirely waived or paid entirely with grants/scholarships

• are not taxable and
• are not reported on the 1098T form.

Funds received in regards to CARES Act funds (emergency funding) in 2021 that were applied to your outstanding balance on your account will be added to your 2021 1098-T.
