CCC is required to provide relvant tax information to students every year they are enrolled. The IRS Form 1098-T is a tuition statement issued to students who have tax-reportable education transactions during the tax year.
The form reports information about payments for qualified tuition and related expenses during a calendar year, January 1 through December 31. You or the person who claims you as a dependent may use the information when determining whether you qualify for an education tax benefit on your federal taxes. Receiving a 1098-T does not mean you automatically qualify for a tax credit.
CCC cannot provide individual tax advice. Use IRS resources or talk with a qualified tax professional if you have questions about your tax return.
Receiving one does not mean you owe money to CCC.
1098-Ts are issued to most students. If you are a college student paying tuition, you will likely receive a Form 1098-T. The IRS does not require CCC to file Form 1098-T for non-US residents. However, CCC cannot say for sure which foreign students are U.S. residents and is required to provide a 1098-T to resident alien students upon request. Therefore, 1098-T forms are provided to all students who have a reportable transaction, including foreign or undocumented students who may or may not be eligible for an education tax benefit.
CCC uses two methods to deliver Form 1098-T to you. You can opt-in to electronic delivery, or you can have it mailed to your address on file.
If a Form 1098-T is available for you, you can view, save, or print it online.
Get Your 1098-T by Mail
If you do not opt-in to getting your tax forms online, you will be sent a form in the mail. Be sure to check that your address and contact information is correct if you want it to be delivered by mail. You can update your address and personal information in your myCCC account.
If you have an active Comet ID but cannot sign in, contact the ITS Help Desk.
If you are a former student and no longer have access to your account, contact Student Accounts for help getting your tax information.
Your 1098-T form will be posted in the online portal sometime beween January 1 and February 1 for the previous calendar year. Once it is posted, it stays in the portal with other previous tax years.
The Form 1098-T is mailed on or before February 1 for the previous calendar year. For example, the 2025 1098-T will be sent by mail by February 1, 2026.
Make sure CCC has your current mailing address before tax forms are prepared.
You may not receive a Form 1098-T if:
Federal regulations also contain specific exceptions to when colleges are required to provide Form 1098-T. Contact Student Accounts if you believe you should have received one but did not.
Federal tax reporting requires CCC to have your correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). For most students, this is a Social Security number (SSN). Some students may instead have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
If CCC does not have this information, you may be asked to complete IRS Form W-9S, aRequest for Student’s or Borrower’s Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification.
Students use this form to:
The IRS may impose a penalty of up to $50 if you are required to provide a correct SSN or ITIN and fail to do so without reasonable cause.
Not every charge on your CCC account is treated the same way for tax reporting.
CCC’s current tax guidance identifies tuition, technology fees, and class fees as qualified charges for its reporting. Items such as payment-plan fees, late fees, parking fees or fines, and bus pass fees are not treated as qualified tuition and related expenses in CCC’s reporting.
Form 1098-T displays the amount of Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses (QTRE) you paid, up to the cost of qualified eligible tuition expenses, during the reporting year, January 1 to December 31. Each numbered box on the form represents a different category.

The number in Box 1 may be different from the total amount of money you paid CCC during the year.
CCC can only report qualifying payments up to the amount of eligible charges for the calendar year. Refunds, reductions in charges, enrollment changes, and the timing of payments can also affect what appears on the form.
Form 1098-T is based on the calendar year, not the academic year.
For example, if you register and make qualifying payments for spring classes before December 31, those amounts may appear on the 1098-T for that calendar year even though the classes begin the following year.
When Box 1 includes qualifying amounts for an academic period beginning in January through March of the following year, Box 7 is checked.
No. CCC sends the required 1098-T information to the IRS electronically. Keep your copy for your records and use it when preparing your taxes.
The IRS recommends keeping the documents you used to determine whether you qualify for an education credit.
CCC can help you with questions about the information reported on your 1098-T or how to access the form, but CCC cannot provide individual tax advice.
For questions about whether you qualify for an education tax credit or how to report education expenses on your tax return, use IRS resources or consult a qualified tax professional.
