Form 1098-T is an IRS (Internal Revenue Service) form provided to students who enroll in classes at the University of Denver. The 1098-T form may assist you in determining eligibility for tax credits or deductions.

Form 1098-T is sent each year to any student who had qualified tuition and related expenses charged to their account in the preceding calendar year. The 1098-T form may assist you in determining eligibility for tax credits or deductions.

Education tax credits were created as a result of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. More information regarding these credits and deductions is available at the IRS website or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM. IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education and IRS Form 8863, Education Credits are particularly helpful.

No. The University of Denver cannot provide tax advice. The 1098-T form should not be considered as tax opinion or advice. Please refer to relevant IRS forms and publications or consult a tax advisor, not the University of Denver, for explanations regarding eligibility for and calculations of any allowable tax credits or deductions.

Universities are required to report either amounts billed for qualified tuition and related expenses in the calendar year (Box 2) or payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses in the calendar year (Box 1). Like most universities, the University of Denver reports amounts billed in Box 2, rather than payments received in Box 1. The University will not fulfill any requests for forms to be printed with amounts in Box 1.

The amount reported in Box 2 includes amounts billed for qualified tuition and related expenses in the calendar year. The IRS rules define qualified tuition and related expenses as tuition and fees required for enrollment. Qualified expenses do not include room and board, health insurance, medical expenses, or other personal expenses. Additionally, if you received any type of tuition waiver during the calendar year, the amount of charges reported in Box 2 will be reduced by the amount of tuition waiver proceeds.

The amount reported in Box 4 includes adjustments during the calendar year for tuition and related expenses that were reported in prior calendar years.

The amount reported in Box 5 includes all grants, scholarships, and waivers administered and processed by DU’s Financial Aid Office, as well as payments received by the university from governmental agencies for VA, ROTC, or other similar benefits in the calendar year. It does not include outside scholarships that are not processed through DU’s Financial Aid Office. However, those amounts may need to be considered when calculating education tax credits or deductions. In addition, the scholarship and grant amounts reported in Box 5 may include scholarship amounts for room and board, which may not need to be considered when calculating education tax credits or deductions.

The amount reported in Box 6 includes adjustments during the calendar year for scholarships and grants that were reported in prior calendar years.

The IRS requires universities to report on a calendar year, rather than academic year. Therefore, the amount reported in Box 2 includes any amounts billed in calendar year 2016 for Winter Quarter 2017. The amount reported in Box 5 also includes any scholarships and grants credited in calendar year 2016 for Winter Quarter 2017.

For students enrolled in only Winter Quarter 2016 and prior, the amount reported in Box 2 may be blank if tuition and related expenses for Winter Quarter 2016 were billed in December 2015. Box 5 may be blank if scholarships and grants for Winter Quarter 2016 were credited in December 2015. Even though the amount in Box 2 is blank, payments made in 2016 may need to be considered when calculating any education tax credits or deductions.
