Information returns are not required for:
- Students who are enrolled only in courses for which no academic credit is offered
- Nonresident alien students, unless requested
- Students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are entirely waived or paid entirely with scholarships, fellowships, and/or grants
NEW IRS guidelines require institutions to report payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses in Box 1
Also, IIT is required to report all scholarships, fellowships, and grants that were administered and processed by the university in Box 5. The reporting of scholarships, fellowships, and grants on Form 1098-T does not determine the taxability of such payments. It is your responsibility to determine the taxability of your scholarships, fellowships, and/or grants received.
