Tax Information Accessing your 1098-T Tax Form
1098-T forms are made available by Jan. 31 of each year.
Educational Tax Credits
Students may be eligible to claim The American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. For additional information on these education benefits and eligibility, visit www.irs.gov.
Form 1098-T
Point Park University reports payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) in Box 1 and the amount of grants and scholarships received in Box 5. The amounts included in either box are for the calendar year (January 1 – December 31).
Example: A tuition payment made in December 2021 toward the spring 2022 semester will not be reflected on the 2022 1098-T form because the payment was made in the 2021 calendar year.
The University cannot provide tax advice. Students should contact a tax professional or the IRS with questions concerning income taxes and eligibility for educational tax credits.
