Frequently Asked Questions to File 1098-T Online
Form 1098-T,Tuition Statement, is an information return used by eligible educational institutions to report certain qualified tuition and related expense payments, scholarships or grants, and other applicable information for enrolled students.
The information may help students or other eligible taxpayers determine whether they qualify for certain education tax benefits.
Eligible educational institutions generally must file Form 1098-T for each student enrolled for whom a reportable transaction is made. Insurers engaged in a trade or business of making reimbursements or refunds of qualified tuition and related expenses may also have a Form 1098-T filing requirement.
The IRS filing deadline is March 1, 2027, for paper returns and March 31, 2027, for electronic returns. The statement must generally be furnished to the student by February 1, 2027. If a due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day.
Not necessarily. IRS rules provide exceptions, including certain nonresident alien students, students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are entirely waived or paid entirely with scholarships or grants, students enrolled in courses that do not offer academic credit, and certain students covered by formal billing arrangements.
To request an extension, submit Form 8809 (Application for Extension of Time to File Information Returns) to the IRS on or before the original filing due date. An approved extension grants an additional 30 days to file with the IRS.
If you need an extension to furnish student copies, you must file Form 15397 (Application for Extension of Time to Furnish Recipient Statements).
