1098-T Tuition Statement

Your 1098-T is a tuition statement required by the IRS for reporting your amounts paid for qualifying tuition and related expenses. This form assists you and your tax preparer in claiming eligible education credits, if applicable, on your tax return. The form is available no later than January 31st each year.

How to Access Your 1098-T

Option 1: Paperless 1098-T

  • Log into MyCalhoun.
  • Go to Banner Self Service > Student > Student Landing Page > Consents and Agreements.
  • Click ‘Accept’ to opt for a paperless 1098-T.

  • Once selected, a paper copy will NOT be mailed. You can change this selection at any time.

Option 2: Mailed 1098-T

  • If you do not choose paperless, your 1098-T will be mailed to the last mailing address on file as of December 31st.
  • Ensure your address is updated by December 31st each year.
  • The college will not reprint or re-mail forms due to address changes after this date.

Common Reasons for Not Receiving a 1098-T Form

  • No payments were made during the calendar year.

Important Information on Payments & Timing

  • The 1098-T only reflects payments made during the tax year (January 1st to December 31st).

  • Payments for spring classes made before December 31st will be reported on the current year’s 1098-T form.
