The 1098T tax form is issued to all Hunter College students who pay tuition and fees from January 1st - December 31st of each calendar year. Forms will be mailed by the CUNY 1098T Servicer on or before February 1st of each year for the prior calendar year (2011 forms will be mailed on or before 2/1/12).

If you do not receive your 1098T and your address is the same as it was on our system at December 31st, you can pick up a duplicate form at no cost in the Bursar's Office after February 15th. If your address is the same and you want us to mail a duplicate to your current address on our system, we will do that if you send us a self-addressed stamped envelope.

If you do not receive your 1098T and your address has changed and you did not report this to the College before December 31st, we will mail you a duplicate form for a $5 fee after February 15th.  Please come to the office to request a duplicate or mail us a money order payable to Hunter College at 695 Park Ave, N238, New York, NY 10065.

Students requesting duplicate 1098T forms for any years prior to the current year will be charged $5 per form.

If you have a specific question about your 1098T form, please email bursar@hunter.cuny.edu.
