Q. Is a 1098T required for children attending private catholic schools?
A. No.
The 1098-T is for post secondary education (college and vocational). There is no federal tax credit or deduction for K-12 education. Some states allow a credit or deduction. If so, it will come up in the state interview. A 1098-T is not required.
K-12 education now qualifies for a 529 distribution. A 1098-T is not required to claim it. K-12 schools do not issue 1098-Ts.
