Umpqua Community College is required to provide a 1098-T for each student you enroll and for whom a reportable transaction is made. All students will be able to review their 1098-T on line through their Self Service Banner. However all students’ 1098-T’s may not be sent to the IRS.
Depending on your income (or your family’s income, if you are a dependent), whether you were considered full or half-time enrolled, and the amount of your qualified educational expenses for the year, you may be eligible for a federal education tax credit. (You can find detailed information about claiming education tax credits in IRS Publication 970, page 9.)
The dollar amounts reported on your Form 1098-T may assist you in completing IRS Form 8863 – the form used for calculating the education tax credits that a taxpayer may claim as part of your tax return.
UCC is unable to provide you with individual tax advice, but should you have questions, you should seek the counsel of informed tax preparers or advisers.
UCC transitioned to the electronic delivery of student 1098T forms with full implementation in 2015. IRS regulations state that each student who wishes to receive their 1098T electronically must also provide his/her consent electronically:
- Go to Student Self Service.
- If you are logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to review and accept Terms of Usage where you will be consenting to electronic delivery of the student 1098T form. Your consent will be in effect unless you revoke it.
- If you do not consent to receive your 1098T electronically, please see an Opt Out Instruction Sheet and send your request to Umpqua Community College, Attn: Accounting & Finance Office – Student Accounts, 1140 Umpqua College Rd, Roseburg, OR 97470 or email it to [email protected].
