Tax Relief Act of 1997

1098-T Forms

In January, the Student Accounting Department will issue  1098-T forms, Tuition Statements, to eligible students.  Students may also access a copy of their forms through the "Tax Notification" option under the "Student Accounts" menu in eServices.

Educational institutions have the choice to report either the amount billed or the amount paid on the 1098-T forms. VCU reports the amount billed. Students may select the "Account Detail for Term" option in eServices to view their account information which may assist them in determining the amount of the credit which may be claimed on their behalf.

There may be an opportunity for tax savings through the American Opportunity Credit or Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. These two tax credits are based on qualified education expenses paid for tuition and fees required for the student's enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational institution.

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

If you have further questions concerning either tax credit, you may want to consult with a tax professional to discuss your personal situation.
