Can I find a way to get the Federal ID number even if I did not receive 1098-T form via email?

Does your school have a website where you could access your 1098T information?

[keeara87]

Yes- it says "You do not have any 1098-T Data available" Does that mean I don't apply to that form?

That's what it sounds like.  Were you a student in 2017?

[keeara87]

Yes, I was part-time in both semesters. I was qualified to get Fafsa and Pell grant.

Contact the financial office and ask if or when you might get a 1098T.

Thank You.
