Frequently Asked Questions:

    reflected on my 2007 1098T?

5) Why does my student ID number not appear on my 1098T?

    the last four digits of your social security number.

7) Since I received a 1098T, am I qualified for one of the educational tax

    credits?

    If you receive a 1098T you are NOT automatically qualified to receive one

    of the educational tax credits.  The determination of eligibility is the

    responsibility of the taxpayer.

8) Can I claim both educational tax credits this year?

     No, you can only select one of the credits for any given tax year.
