Brunel University on Federal Student Loan list but not on DAPIP

[kmeetze88]

Hi.  I am currently in school at Brunel University in London but they did not provide me with a 1098-T form.  I found them on the Federal Student Loan link provided (OPEID 01178000) but not on the DAPIP (US Dept of Education link).  Can I still deduct my tuition of around $22K?

If they are an  Eligible Educational Institution - Internal Revenue Service.

Thank you for your reply but I don’t understand the answer.  Brunel is listed on one list but not on the other (dept of education). They did not provide 1098 nor do they have an EIN.

I would GUESS yes, since they are on the list for FSA Partners. 

Since they are not a US school, they would not be listed on the US Department of Education list and not have an EIN number. 

I'm sure their financial aid office or student services could give you a definite answer. 

According to the IRS:

“Eligible educational institution. An eligible educational institution is any college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Virtually all accredited public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately owned profit-making) postsecondary institutions meet this definition. An eligible educational institution also includes certain educational institutions located outside the United States that are eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. The educational institution should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution.”

“If a student's educational institution isn't required to provide Form 1098-T to the student, you may claim a credit without Form 1098-T if you otherwise qualify, can demonstrate that you (or a dependent) were enrolled at an eligible educational institution, and can substantiate the payment of qualified tuition and related expenses.”
