Higher Education Tax Credit (1098-T) and W-9S Information
The form 1098-T is an IRS (Internal Revenue Service) form provided to students who enroll in classes at 黑洞社区. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (TRA97) established two education tax credits: the Hope Credit for students enrolled in one of the first two years of post-secondary education and who are carrying at least a half-time workload while pursuing an undergraduate degree; and the Lifetime Learning Credit for students who take one or more classes from a college/university to pursue an undergraduate or graduate degree. Form 1098-T supplies a portion of the information needed by taxpayers to claim the Hope and Lifetime tax credits. By Federal law, this form needs to be mailed to the student by January 31 of each year. In addition, students are able to access the form online and print additional copies as necessary.
