1098-T Form and Educational Tax Credits
In accordance with IRS guidelines, Claremont Graduate University has provided qualified educational charges to the IRS. TCRS (Tax Credit Report Service), the third-party vendor who provides tax credit reporting for Claremont Graduate University, has submitted this information electronically to the IRS.
Please note, the reported charges are based on the tax year that the student was charged for these fees, not necessarily when the semester occurs or when payment was made. For example, if you registered and were billed for Spring 2009 at the end of 2008, these charges will appear on your 2008 1098-T form. If you were not billed until 2009, then those charges will not appear on this form.
HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY 1098-T FORM?
- These forms will be available online the last week of January 2009. An email will be sent as notification to the student when it is available.
- You may also download the form at www.1098-T.com. Select "Access My Record" and please have your social security number readily available to complete the process.
- International Students* may also obtain the 1098-T form online at www.1098-T.com click "Access My Record".
- *Note: If you did not provide CGU with a Social Security Number (or you do not have one), you may access the 1098-T form using the number on your CGU ID card. Use the link in the second paragraph on the "Access My Record” page and follow the directions. Enter only the 6 digits following the 254 and nothing more. Do not include any number following a dash. If you have a new student ID card, these 6 digits may be printed inside a red rectangle.
