What is an IRS Form 1098-T Tuition Statement

The 1098-T is a form STLCC files with the IRS. This form includes information such as:

Payments Received for Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses

The IRS requires the college to provide information regarding payments received (Box 1) as well as other related information. For 2023, the reporting method for STLCC is payments received (Box 1).

Box 1 of the form will show qualified tuition and related expenses paid during the 2023 calendar year (Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2023). If you registered for an academic period beginning January-March 2024 in the 2023 calendar year, these amounts will be included as amounts paid on your 2022 tax form (if payment made by Dec. 31, 2023) and Box 7 of your tax form will also be checked.

Generally, qualified education expenses are amounts paid in 2023 for tuition and fees required for the student's enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational institution.

Scholarships or Grants

Box 5 of the form reports the total of scholarships and/or grants administered and processed by STLCC during the calendar year. The amount reported in Box 5 does not include student loans or work study.

The amount of any scholarships or grants reported for the calendar year may reduce the amount of any allowable tuition and fee deduction or education credit you're entitled to for the 2023 tax year.

Additional Information Reported

Box 8 shows whether you are considered to be carrying at least one-half the normal full-time workload for your course of study at STLCC for at least one academic period during the calendar year.
