How do I know if I will receive a 1098-T?

I have not received one, however I have paid tuition expenses.

Contact your school or go on your school's website to see if it is available.

Please use the  U.S. Federal Student Aid Code List if you aren’t sure if your school is an eligible educational institution.

You need form 1098-T to qualify for education credits or deductions. Eligible colleges or other post-secondary institutions must send Form 1098-T to any student who paid "qualified educational expenses" in the preceding tax year. Qualified expenses include tuition, any fees that are required for enrollment, and course materials the student was required to buy from the school.

A small number of schools, not on this list, may be eligible educational institutions. So, you may need to ask the school.
