Box 1 reports payments received from all sources for qualified tuition and related expenses for the calendar year. Qualified expenses include tuition, the ASOC Senate student body fee, the Diversity and Equity Board fee, and the Renewable Energy & Sustainability fee.

The amount in Box 1 only includes amounts paid for qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) and does not include payments received for housing, meal plans, insurance, or other miscellaneous fees, as these are not considered related education expenses. In addition, 1098-T forms report amounts paid in a particular calendar year, and the pay date does not necessarily correspond to the dates that classes were attended. For the most accurate breakdown of what you paid, we recommend reviewing your student account activity in the eBill portal.

Charges are posted to your student account in July for the fall semester and in December for the spring semester. Box 1 of Form 1098-T reflects payments made during the calendar year for qualified tuition and related expenses and is not based on when classes were attended. Your account activity or eBill will show the dates payments were posted to your account. You can access your account via myºù«Ӱҵ, under the Student Services tab.

This is a common question for May graduates — don't worry if you don't see a form for the current year! Some May graduates will not be issued a Form 1098-T for the current year because payments for QTRE may have been recorded the previous year. Spring semester tuition charges are generally billed and posted in December of the prior year and would therefore have been included on the previous year's Form 1098-T in Box 1.
