Who gets the 1098-T form?

Schools 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 required for a student to be enrolled.

If someone else pays such expenses on behalf of the student (like a parent), the student still gets "credit" for them and receives the 1098-T. Schools must send the form to the student by January 31 and file a copy with the IRS by February 28.

The 1098-T should be issued in the Student's name. It will be reported on the tax return where the student is claimed as a dependent. To get the 1098-T to be issued correctly you will need to contact the school.
