1098T forms are issued to all students who pay tuition and fees in a calendar year. 1098T forms are issued when you have paid an amount in excess of grant funds. For example, if your tuition and fees for the year are $5,000 and you received grants of $2.500, your 1098T would reflect both of those amounts. However, if your tuition and fees for the year are $5,000 and your grants were $7,500, you do not qualify for the tax credit, and a 1098T form would not be issued to you.
Notes on the 1098T:
- IRS regulations prohibit the issuance of 1098T with ‘dummy’ social security numbers. If you do not have a social security number or taxpayer-identification number, your 1098T will have a blank in the social security number field.
- Your 1098T form will be mailed to the last address on file. To ensure that you receive your 1098T form promptly, please update your address with the Registrar’s Office.
- You can view and print your 1098T form through your CUNYFirst account. First, logon to CUNYfirst Self Service, then under Campus Finances, go to view 1098T.
