Form 1098-T Information

The IRS requires all Colleges and Universities to prepare form 1098-T for students who were billed for credit courses during the calendar year 2008. These students (or their parents) may be eligible to take either a tuition and fee deduction or claim an educational credit on their tax return.

This year, TC3 has contracted with an outside agency (ACS) which will allow us to process the 1098T forms electronically. Students will have the ability to opt-in to an electronic delivery of the form by January 9, 2009. Otherwise a form will be sent to them in the mail. Whether a form is mailed electronically or on paper, students will have the ability to go online to print their 1098T form at any time.

ACS also provides a call center for questions about the 1098T tax form. The toll free number to contact them is 1-877-467-3821. For more information about the 1098T tax form and the electronic opt-in program, please visit the ASC web site, click the link Access My Record, and follow the steps provided to validate your personal information. If students have questions specifically regarding their tuition statement and account at TC3, they can access this information online through myInfo, or contact the Enrollment Services Center.
