Form 1098-T (keep for your records) www.irs.gov/Form1098T 
Instructions for Student

You, or the person who can claim you as a dependent, may be able to claim an 

education credit on Form 1040 or 1040-SR. This statement has been furnished 

to you by an eligible educational institution in which you are enrolled, or by an 

insurer who makes reimbursements or refunds of qualified tuition and related 

expenses to you. This statement is required to support any claim for an 

education credit. Retain this statement for your records. To see if you qualify for 

a credit, and for help in calculating the amount of your credit, see Pub. 970, 

Form 8863, and the Instructions for Forms 1040 and 1040-SR.

Your institution must include its name, address, and information contact telephone

number on this statement. It may also include contact information for a service provider. 

Although the filer or the service provider may be able to answer certain questions about 

the statement, do not contact the filer or the service provider for explanations of the 

requirements for (and how to figure) any education credit that you may claim.

Student’s taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your protection, this form may 

show only the last four digits of your TIN (SSN, ITIN, ATIN, or EIN). However, the issuer 

has reported your complete TIN to the IRS. Caution: If your TIN is not shown in this 

box, your school was not able to provide it. Contact your school if you have questions.

Account number. May show an account or other unique number the filer 

assigned to distinguish your account.

Box 1. Shows the total payments received by an eligible educational institution 

in 2021 from any source for qualified tuition and related expenses less any 

reimbursements or refunds made during 2021 that relate to those payments 

received during 2021.

Box 2. Reserved for future use.

Box 3. Reserved for future use.

Box 4. Shows any adjustment made by an eligible educational institution for a 

prior year for qualified tuition and related expenses that were reported on a

prior year Form 1098-T. This amount may reduce any allowable education credit

that you claimed for the prior year (may result in an increase in tax liability for the 

year of the refund). See “recapture” in the index to Pub. 970 to report a 

reduction in your education credit or tuition and fees deduction.

Box 5. Shows the total of all scholarships or grants administered and processed 

by the eligible educational institution. The amount of scholarships or grants for 

the calendar year (including those not reported by the institution) may reduce 

the amount of the education credit you claim for the year. 

TIP: You may be able to increase the combined value of an education credit and certain 

educational assistance (including Pell Grants) if the student includes some or all of the 

educational assistance in income in the year it is received. For details, see Pub. 970.

Box 6. Shows adjustments to scholarships or grants for a prior year. This 

amount may affect the amount of any allowable tuition and fees deduction or 

education credit that you claimed for the prior year. You may have to file an 

amended income tax return (Form 1040-X) for the prior year. 

Box 7. Shows whether the amount in box 1 includes amounts for an academic period 

beginning January–March 2022. See Pub. 970 for how to report these amounts.

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 the reporting institution. 

Box 9. Shows whether you are considered to be enrolled in a program leading 

to a graduate degree, graduate-level certificate, or other recognized graduatelevel educational credential. 

Box 10. Shows the total amount of reimbursements or refunds of qualified tuition

and related expenses made by an insurer. The amount of reimbursements or refunds

for the calendar year may reduce the amount of any education credit you can claim

for the year (may result in an increase in tax liability for the year of the refund).

Form 1098-T and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were 

published, go to www.irs.gov/Form1098T.
