FAQ

The IRS Form 1098-T is an information form filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The 1098-T form reports amounts paid for qualified tuition and related expenses. The information on the 1098-T form is provided to assist the student with filing for the education tax benefits/tax credit deductions, such as the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit, Hope Scholarship Tax Credit, or the Deduction for Qualified Higher Education Expenses.

For the tax reporting calendar year, Form 1098-T will be available online to view and download on the SU Pay portal if the student agreed to receive the form electronically. An Authorized User may be able to access the form through the portal if the student granted access to view and download Form 1098-T.
