2024 IRS Form 1098-T
IRS Form 1098-T is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tuition statement which is intended to help students prepare their federal income tax return. Form 1098-T details the qualified payments that are applied to a student's account within a specific calendar year. Please note that this is based on when the transaction is posted to the account, not according to the term the activity is related to.
The University of New Haven is required by the IRS to furnish eligible students with tax form 1098-T each calendar year. Form 1098-T will be made available to students in ePay and SSB (Self-Service Banner) by January 31, as required by law.
Important Notes:
- The information on the 1098-T is only informational.
- You must rely on your receipts to determine payment amounts and potential eligibility for a tax credit.
- No University of New Haven employee may give tax advice regarding the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit. If you are unsure about your eligibility or have any tax preparation questions, you should consult with a qualified tax preparer or advisor. You can also consult IRS Publication 990 or visit the IRS website.
- Please note that the release of 1098-T information is governed by federal privacy laws (FERPA) and cannot be released to parents or tax preparers without the authorization of the student.

If a student does not attend a class for two weeks, the instructor has the right to withdraw them at any time during the semester.
