1098t-tax form

Students can view and print the 1098-T forms for tax filing purposes.

Universities are required to report this information to students to assist with the Hope and Lifetime Learning tax credit which may be utilized when filing an annual Individual Income Tax Return Form to the IRS. OSU staff are not tax professionals and cannot provide advice on completing a tax return form, the use of the information provided on the 1098T form, or provide services to compute tax credits.

In order to receive a paper copy, students must complete the following steps:

1. Complete Consent Agreement.
2. Submit Consent Agreement.

Once the Consent Agreement has been submitted, students can view 1098-T forms for applicable years in .pdf formatted files.

A printed 1098-T will be sent to eligible students via U.S. Mail.

It is imperative that eligible students have a valid address and SSN in the system in order to generate a 1098-T for their account.
