Do I need to ensure my address information is complete to receive a 1098-T Tax Form?
Yes. Regardless of how you receive your 1098-T, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires a complete mailing address on the tax form. The University cannot produce an electronic or paper 1098-T Tax Form if there is missing address information, such as a street, state or zip code.
You can update your address information through student self-service.
-
When can I expect to receive the 1098-T?
The IRS requires the 1098-T be sent by January 31. In most cases, the form is sent during the last week of January prior to the 31st.
