1098-T INFORMATION
How and When will I receive my 1098-T?
** A paper 1098-T Tuition Statement form will be mailed to your home address by January 31st each calendar year.
Education tax credits may be available to you if you are paying education costs for yourself or a student who is a member of your immediate family. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 1098-T enables you to determine if you qualify for one or more of these education tax credits.
Brenau University is required to provide a completed IRS Form 1098-T to all enrolled students for whom a reportable transaction is made, then to report those students, enrollment and summary financial data to the IRS. A reportable transaction is defined as tuition and fees a student must pay to be enrolled in a degree program.
Brenau University reports the amount billed for qualifying tuition and fees in Box 2 of Form 1098-T, and the total amount of scholarships and grants in Box 5 (up to $5,250 of graduate level tuition and fee benefits awarded to Graduate Assistants (GAs) and employees are reported in Box 5 of the IRS Form 1098-T; amounts exceeding $5,250 are reported on IRS Form W-2). Note: The reporting of scholarships and grants on Form 1098-T does not determine the taxability of those payments; it is the student's responsibility, not the University's, to determine the taxability of scholarships, fellowships and/or grants received. While the University may provide you with information about your Form 1098-T, we cannot provide tax or legal advice and therefore cannot determine if you qualify for an education credit. If you believe that you qualify for an education credit, consult your tax advisor, or contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
