Why didn't I receive a 1098-T Tuition Statement?
According to IRS guidelines, SJSU is not obligated to file the 1098-T Tuition Statement or furnish a statement for:
- Courses for which no academic credit is offered, even if the student is otherwise enrolled in a degree program.
- Nonresident alien students.
- Students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are entirely waived or paid entirely with scholarships or grants. According to IRS guidelines, SJSU is not required to provide/mail a 1098T to students whose fees are paid by financial aid. However, this data is provided electronically via MySJSU so that students may print out the form and discuss with their tax advisor their situation and eligibility for any kind of tax credit, etc...
- Students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are covered by a formal billing arrangement between an institution and the student's employer or a governmental entity, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense.
