Box 1 Reporting Change Beginning in Tax Year 2018
Box 1 includes the amount of QTRE paid on the student account from any payment sources such as, but not limited to:
- Payments made by cash, check, electronic check, or credit/debit card.
- Payments made from federal or private educational loans posted to the student account.
- Payments made with scholarships or grants from any source posted to the account, unless the award was specifically intended to pay a non-qualified charge.
The date a payment is applied to a qualified charge is what matters for Box 1, not the date that charges are posted to the student account. Payments that apply to qualified charges during the tax year are included in Box 1. Payments that apply to non-qualified charges are excluded from Box 1.
Box 5 Scholarships or Grants
Box 5 identifies the total scholarships or grants posted to your student account during the calendar year. In compliance with IRS regulations, the value you will see in Box 5 will be the sum of ALL grants and scholarships, even those that pay charges that are not QTRE.
Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund and Emergency Financial Aid Grants under the CARES Act are not includable in box 5 above
Additional Information Provided on the 1098-T
Box 4 includes adjustments to the amount of QTRE that was paid and reported in Box 1 for any prior tax year.
Box 6 includes reductions to the amount of scholarships or grants that were reported in Box 5 for any prior year.
Box 7, if checked, indicates that Box 1 includes payments received for QTRE for an academic period that begins in January through March of the next calendar year. For example, if you paid for spring QTRE during November or December of last year, this box will be checked.
Box 8 shows whether you are considered to be carrying at least one-half the normal full-time workload for your course of study for at least one academic period during the calendar year.
