Can the College of Wooster advise me how to use the 1098-T Form in completing my taxes?
The College of Wooster cannot determine if you qualify for a tax credit or any allowable tuition and fees deduction. The financial data provided is to assist you in computing amounts that may be eligible for certain tax benefits. Students and parents should contact their personal tax advisor for assistance.
What is Form 1098-T?

How much can I claim on my taxes? How do I know what to put on my tax return?
The College of Wooster can’t give you tax advice. We comply with Federal regulations by annually providing an IRS Form 1098-T to eligible students in late January. Please consult your tax advisor for more information about your particular situation. Staff at The College of Wooster Business Office cannot assist you in determining the amount you can claim for a tax credit.
Am I required to submit my 1098-T to the IRS?
No. Form 1098-T is for informational purposes only and does not need to be submitted to the IRS by the student. I made payments in December and January for spring semester. Can I claim those payments in the same year? The College of Wooster cannot give any tax advice. Please contact your tax accountant.
