Tax Information Page

Texas Tech University has contracted with Vangent to provide you with your Form 1098-T. Texas Tech University cannot determine if you qualify for a tax credit or any allowable tuition and fees deduction. The financial data provided is to assist you in computing amounts that may be eligible for certain tax benefits. Students and parents should obtain IRS publication 970 Tax Benefits for Higher Education or contact their personal tax advisor for assistance. The IRS website for obtaining forms and publications is http://www.irs.gov or you can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040

Please note Box 2 on the 1098-T form shows the total amounts BILLED for qualified tuition and related expenses less any related reductions in charges for the 2011 calendar year (total amount “BILLED” not payments received). If Box 6 on the 1098-T form is checked, the amount in Box 2 includes amounts for an academic period beginning January – March, 2012. See Publication 970 for guidance on how to report these amounts.
See reverse side to view the detailed information shown on the front of Form 1098T.

1098-T FORMS WILL BE MAILED OUT BY JANUARY 31

This year, students may choose to receive their 1098-T form earlier by accessing https://tra.vangent.com online. Students will be able to print their 1098-T as soon as it becomes available, which could be up to three weeks earlier than standard mail delivery!!

Qualifying students must have a valid permanent address on file in Raiderlink for a 1098-T to be generated, regardless of the delivery method they select.

Students must update their permanent addresses no later than December 16, 2011 to ensure that a 1098-T is generated. Students may verify and update their addresses by choosing the My Personal Information link from the header on the Raiderlink portal.

Please contact Student Business Services if you have questions about your 1098T form.
