1098-T Tax Benefit Form

The IRS requires the University to furnish the 1098-T to students. The tuition statement includes the amount of tuition paid during the tax year, excluding health and transportation fees. It also includes the amount of scholarships, grants, employer payments for tuition, and VA payments received by the student. Loan amounts are not included on a 1098-T.

The 1098-T is available the last week of January for the previous tax year and is accessed through the student's Transact account. 1098-T forms for 2013 and earlier are found in MyUWF.

The University of West Florida is not in a position to advise you regarding your eligibility for any income tax credit or to assist you with preparing your income tax return. For official IRS information, please refer to IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Higher Education, or the IRS website.
