Why didn’t I get a 1098-T?

Tags 1098-T

The university is not required to furnish a 1098-T for the following reasons:

  1. Students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are entirely waived or paid entirely with grants and scholarships.
  2. Students who take classes where no academic credit is offered, even if the student is otherwise enrolled in a degree program (e.g., non-credit course).
  3. Students who are non-resident aliens for income tax purposes (unless requested by the student).
  4. Students for whom UCO does not maintain a separate financial account information and whose qualified tuition and related expenses are covered by a formal billing arrangement between the college and either the student’s employer or a governmental entity, such as the Department of Veteran Affairs.

There are other reasons why an eligible student may not have received the 1098-T form:

  1. Tax Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) is missing or invalid.
  2. Invalid or missing mailing address.
  3. High school or apprentice student.
