Tuition Payments Statement

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information as a courtesy. Do not file
draft forms. Also, do not rely on draft instructions and publications for
filing. We generally do not release drafts of forms until we believe we have
incorporated all changes. However, unexpected issues sometimes arise, or
legislation is passed, necessitating a change to a draft form. In addition,
forms generally are subject to OMB approval before they can be officially
released. Drafts of instructions and publications usually have at least some
changes before being officially released.
Early releases of draft forms and instructions are at IRS.gov/draftforms.
Please note that drafts may remain on IRS.gov even after the final release is
posted at IRS.gov/downloadforms, and thus may not be removed until there
is a new draft for the subsequent revision. All information about all revisions
of all forms, instructions, and publications is at IRS.gov/formspubs.
Almost every form and publication also has its own easily accessible
information page on IRS.gov. For example, the Form 1040 page is at
IRS.gov/form1040; the Form W-2 page is at IRS.gov/w2; the Publication 17
page is at IRS.gov/pub17; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/w4; the Form
8863 page is at IRS.gov/form8863; and the Schedule A (Form 1040) page is
at IRS.gov/schedulea. If typing in the links above instead of clicking on
them: type the link into the address bar of your browser, not in a Search box;
the text after the slash must be lowercase; and your browser may require the
link to begin with “www.”. Note that these are shortcut links that will
automatically go to the actual link for the page.
If you wish, you can submit comments about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications on the Comment on Tax Forms and Publications
page on IRS.gov. We cannot respond to all comments due to the high
volume we receive, but we will carefully consider each one. Please note that
we may not be able to consider many suggestions until the subsequent
revision of the product.

For Student

This is important
tax information
and is being
furnished to the
Internal Revenue
Service. This form
must be used to
complete Form 8863
to claim education
credits. Give it to the
tax preparer or use it to
prepare the tax return.

Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Instructions for Student
You, or the person who can claim you as a dependent, may be able to claim an education
credit on Form 1040 or Form 1040A. This statement has been furnished to you by an
eligible educational institution in which you are enrolled, or by an insurer who makes
reimbursements or refunds of qualified tuition and related expenses to you. This statement
is required to support any claim for an education credit. Retain this statement for your
records. To see if you qualify for a credit, and for help in calculating the amount of your
credit, see Pub. 970, Form 8863, and the Form 1040 or 1040A instructions.
Your institution must include its name, address, and information contact telephone
number on this statement. It may also include contact information for a service provider.
Although the filer or the service provider may be able to answer certain questions about the
statement, do not contact the filer or the service provider for explanations of the
requirements for (and how to figure) any education credit that you may claim.
Student's taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your protection, this form may show
only the last four digits of your SSN, ITIN, ATIN, or EIN. However, the issuer has reported
your complete TIN to the IRS. Caution: If your TIN is not shown in this box, your school
was not able to provide it. Contact your school if you have questions.
Account number. May show an account or other unique number the filer assigned to
distinguish your account.
Box 1. Shows the total payments received in 2017 from any source for qualified tuition and
related expenses less any reimbursements or refunds made during 2017 that relate to
those payments received during 2017.
Box 2. Shows the total amounts billed in 2017 for qualified tuition and related
expenses less any reductions in charges made during 2017 that relate to those
amounts billed during 2017.
Box 3. Shows whether your educational institution changed its reporting method for
2017. It has changed its method of reporting if the method (payments received or
amounts billed) used for 2017 is different than the reporting method for 2016. You
should be aware of this change in figuring your education credits.

Box 4. Shows any adjustment made for a prior year for qualified tuition and related
expenses that were reported on a prior year Form 1098-T. This amount may reduce any
allowable education credit that you claimed for the prior year (may result in an increase in
tax liability for the year of the refund). See “recapture” in the index to Pub. 970 to report a
reduction in your education credit or tuition and fees deduction.
Box 5. Shows the total of all scholarships or grants administered and processed by
the eligible educational institution. The amount of scholarships or grants for the
calendar year (including those not reported by the institution) may reduce the amount
of the education credit you claim for the year.
TIP: You may be able to increase the combined value of an education credit and certain
educational assistance (including Pell Grants) if the student includes some or all of the
educational assistance in income in the year it is received. For details, see Pub. 970.
Box 6. Shows adjustments to scholarships or grants for a prior year. This amount may
affect the amount of any allowable tuition and fees deduction or education credit that
you claimed for the prior year. You may have to file an amended income tax return
(Form 1040X) for the prior year.
Box 7. Shows whether the amount in box 1 or 2 includes amounts for an academic
period beginning January–March 2018. See Pub. 970 for how to report these amounts.
Box 8. Shows whether you are considered to be carrying at least one-half the normal
full-time workload for your course of study at the reporting institution.
Box 9. Shows whether you are considered to be enrolled in a program leading to a graduate
degree, graduate-level certificate, or other recognized graduate-level educational credential.
Box 10. Shows the total amount of reimbursements or refunds of qualified tuition and
related expenses made by an insurer. The amount of reimbursements or refunds for
the calendar year may reduce the amount of any education credit you can claim for
the year (may result in an increase in tax liability for the year of the refund).

1098-T and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to
