91直播 provides 1098-T Tuition Statement each year to students who have paid qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE). The 1098-T is considered an informational form filed with the Internal Revenue Service by 91直播 and is issued each January for the previous tax year (Jan. 1鈥揇ec. 31). The 1098-T form can assist you with filing for federal education tax credits.
There are two tax credits available to help you offset the costs of higher education by reducing the amount of your income tax; these are the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) and the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC). Form 1098-T enables you to determine if you qualify for one or more of these education tax credits. Please note that 91直播 staff cannot offer tax advice and can only answer questions related to how Form 1098-T is reported. Please consult your tax advisor or to determine eligibility for education tax credits and deductions.
You will have access to your 1098-T on-line at . You will receive an email notification when your 1098T is available.
Keep in mind that IRS Form 1098-T is an informational form, and your student account statement is the most important information you can use to support a claim for a federal tax credit or deduction. Students and Authorized Users can go to the payment history screen in TouchNet to view their payments or generate their own statements.
In order to provide you with the IRS Form 1098-T, and to report your enrollment and financial data to the IRS, the University must have a valid social security number (SSN). While University policy does not require your SSN in the University鈥檚 admissions process, IRS regulations require us to request your SSN, and you are subject to an IRS penalty if you fail to furnish your correct SSN to us. If the University does not have your valid SSN on file, an email will be sent to you requesting this information. You can complete this form now and return it to the Office of the University Registrar.

What other information do I need in order to claim the tax credits?
The 1098-T form serves as in informational return to notify students that they may be eligible for federal income tax education credits. Receipt of a 1098-T form does not in any way indicate a student鈥檚 eligibility for a tax credit. To determine the amount of qualified tuition and related expenses paid, and the amount of scholarships and grants received, a taxpayer should use their own financial records, and if necessary, seek the expertise of a professional tax preparer.
Why aren鈥檛 my payments for Spring included in Box 1?
The 1098-T reflects amounts paid on your account for the applicable calendar year. If the payment for spring term was posted in the prior year, it will not be reported in the current year. Most students had their charges for the spring term on their accounts in the prior year, and any payments made then would be reflected on that year鈥檚 1098-T.
Example: Payments made in 2024 for the Spring 2025 semester will not appear on the 2025 1098-T. Only applicable payments made in the calendar year of 2025 will appear.
Why are only some (or none) of my payments for Spring included in Box 1?
You may have paid only a small amount or made no payments toward your spring semester in the applicable calendar year (posted on the system between the Jan. 1st and Dec. 31st of that year). Any payments posted after the end of that period will be reported on the following year鈥檚 1098-T.
How do I correct an error on my 1098-T?
Send an email to sfs@lasalle.edu. Please include your student ID number.
