What is a 1098 T form?

A 1098 T form is a form submitted by post-secondary educational institutions that reports the qualified education expenses of each tuition-paying student. Eligible institutions complete the form and file it with the IRS, and send a copy to each respective student. The document helps students determine whether they or their parents/guardians can claim an education tax credit on their 1040 or 1040-SR forms.

Who should file the 1098 T form 2022?

Eligible educational institutions (colleges, universities, and other post-secondary schools) should file a 1098 T form to the IRS for each enrolled student who made a qualified tuition payment. Each student should also recieve a copy of their form.

The 1098 T form may affect what tax benefits students or their parents/legal guardians can claim when filing IRS forms 1040 and 1040-SR. However, it's an informational tuition report, so filers should not attach it to their individual tax returns.

What information do you need when you file the 1098 T form?

When preparing the 1098 T form, colleges and schools must complete two identical pages, one for the Internal Revenue Service and the other for a student who paid qualifying tuition fees. The institution filing should provide the following information:

• The educational institution's name, address, telephone number, and employer identification number (EIN)
• The student's name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN)
• The student's account number within the filer's system for payment identification, and whether the student is enrolled at least half-time or is a graduate student
• The total amount of payments received from the student during 2022 and any related refunds
• Adjustments to the tuition fees reported in the previously filed college tax form
• The amount of scholarships and grants the student received, and any adjustments made to them for a prior year

That should give you the net amount of qualified expenses for which you can claim either the American Opportunity Tax Credit and/or Lifetime Learning Credit, right? WRONG.
