1098-T Information

What is the 1098-T form?

The IRS form 1098-T is used to report the amount of qualified tuition and expenses paid during the tax year.

Where can I find my 1098-T form?

Students may access 1098-T tax forms from ConnectColumbia:

1. Navigate to ConnectColumbia
2. Once signed in, navigate to Account Information Card.
3. Select: Student Tax Information-W2 and 1098-T
4. If necessary, select 1098 Information from the available reporting options
5. If necessary, select Change Preferences to give consent to view and download your 1098 forms online
6. Select the qualifying tax year to view and download your 1098-T form

Once a student gives consent to receive the forms electronically, they will be available for viewing online. 1098-T forms are only generated for tax years when qualified tuition and expense payments have been made. 

Students who do not give consent to receive the form electronically will be mailed a paper version early the following calendar year. 1098-T forms are only generated for tax years when a student qualifies to receive one.
