Eligible educational institutions are required to submit the student's name, address, and taxpayer’s identification number (TIN), enrollment and academic status. Beginning with 2003, educational institutions must also report amounts to the IRS pertaining to qualified tuition and related expenses, as well as scholarships and/or grants, taxable or not. A 1098-T form must also be provided to each applicable student. This form is informational only. It serves to alert students that they may be eligible for federal income tax education credits. It should not be considered as tax opinion or advice. While it is a good starting point, the 1098-T, as designed and regulated by the IRS, does not contain all of the information needed to claim a tax credit.  \nWhy did I receive a 1098-T tax form and what am I supposed to do with it?  \nIn January of each year, College for Creative Studies mails an IRS Form 1098-T to all students who had qualified tuition and other related educational expenses billed to them during the previous calendar year. This form is informational only and should not be considered as tax opinion or advice. It serves to alert students that they maybe eligible for federal income tax education credits. Receipt of Form 1098-T does not indicate eligibility for the tax credit. To determine the amount of qualified tuition and fees paid, and the amount of scholarships and grants received, a taxpayer should use their own financial records.  \nNOTE: It is up to each taxpayer to determine eligibility for the credits and how to calculate them.  \nI did not receive a 1098-T tax form, why?  \nThe College for Creative Studies does not have to file Form 1098-T or furnish a statement for:  \nCourses which receive no academic credit, nonresident alien students, unless requested by the student, students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are entirely waived or paid entirely with scholarships and students for whom qualified tuition and related expenses are covered by a formal billing arrangement between CCS and the student’s employer or government entity.  \nDo International students receive this form?  \nStudents classified as nonresident aliens in the College for Creative Studies student records system will not be issued a 1098-T form as they do not qualify for the [U.S. education](U.S. education) tax credits. Please contact the IRS or your personal tax preparer for assistance. If you are a resident alien, see the following question.  \nI am a resident alien, should I receive Form 1098-T?  \nYes. Resident aliens are taxed the same as U.S. citizens and qualify for [the U.S. education](the U.S. education) tax credits.  \nHow do I know if I am a resident alien?  \nYou are a resident alien of the U.S. for tax purposes if you meet either the green card test or the substantial presence test for the calendar year being measured.
