1098-T Information

The New School is required to furnish a 1098-T to all students who incurred qualified tuition and related expenses during the current tax year. The 1098-T form is provided each year on or before January 31. The data that is reported on the 1098-T is based on the tax year (January 1–December 31), not the academic year.

The following IRS documents can all provide details on claiming the education tax credits.

• IRS Publication 970,
• Tax Benefits for Education
• IRS Form 8863
• Education Credits
• Instructions for 1098T
• Interactive Tax Assistant (ITA)
• Education Credits

Any questions regarding the education tax credits should be directed to a tax professional to determine if you are eligible for any education-related tax incentives. The university cannot offer tax advice.
