For 2024 1098-T forms, Brandeis is required to report payments which posted to the student’s account during calendar year 2024 and were applied to Qualified Education Expenses in Box 1.
Only payments received by Dec. 31, 2024, will appear on the 1098-T.
Only tuition and mandatory fees are considered qualified education expenses by the IRS. Housing, meals, insurance and punitive fines or elective charges are not qualified education expenses.
Payments include all personal and third-party payments paid to the account as well as federal and private loans, 529 plan payments, monthly payment plan payments, tuition remission and all scholarships and grants.
Scholarships and grants posted to the student’s account in calendar year 2024 must also be reported in Box 5.
Please note the 1098T is a tool to assist you but may not display the exact figures you paid or amounts you should claim for an education tax credit. This is due to several reasons. First, due to separate regulations that govern financial aid, scholarships and grants cannot disburse to the student's account until 10 days before the start of the semester. This means that the payment received during a calendar year may not match the year for which you are trying to file taxes.
