Form 1098-T

The IRS Form 1098-T is an information form filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

The IRS Form 1098-T that you receive as a college student reports amounts paid for qualified tuition and related expenses, as well as other related information.

Eligible colleges or other post-secondary institutions send the 1098-T to college students who paid “qualified educational expenses” in the preceding tax year.

Humphreys University will not file a 1098-T or furnish a statement for:
1. Courses for which no academic credit is offered, even if the student is otherwise enrolled in a degree program;
2. Nonresident alien students, unless requested by the student;
3. Students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are entirely waived or paid entirely with scholarships; or
4. Students for whom Humphreys University does not maintain a separate financial account and whose qualified tuition and related expenses are covered by a formal billing arrangement between an institution and the student’s employer or a governmental entity, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense.

Humphreys University is required to furnish 1098-T statements by January 31 of the year following the reporting year. For example, you will receive your 2022 1098-T before January 31, 2023.

All information that Humphreys University can or will provide you is either on the 1098-T form or is included on this webpage.

We will not discuss tax implications, how this form may relate to you, or give you tax advice. Please consult your tax preparer with all questions related to this document. Helpful links to the IRS are at the bottom.

You, or the person who may claim you as a dependent, may be able to claim an education tax credit on IRS Form 1040 for the qualified tuition and related expenses that were actually paid during the calendar year.
We strongly recommend seeking professional assistance when claiming an education tax credit.

There is no IRS requirement that you must claim the tuition and fees deduction or an education credit. Claiming education tax benefits is a voluntary decision for those who may qualify.
