Overview

The 1098-T Tuition Statement forms for the current tax year are mailed to students no later than January 31 with qualifying tuition charges for tax credits. 1098-Ts are IRS informational forms issued to the student and mailed to the home address that the student has listed in MyMadison.

Some general information about the 1098-T form:

  1. JMU sends 1098-T forms showing eligible tuition payments as well as any free money (grants, scholarships, etc) the student received during the tax year.
  2. Room and Board charges are not part of “qualified tuition” as defined by the IRS. 
  3. If you did not have qualifying tuition, then a 1098-T form was not processed.
