Box 1 of the 1098-T form includes payments received for Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses (QTRE) that posted during the calendar year, regardless of when the semester started (e.g., the Spring semester is billed/charged to the student account in December of the prior year, therefore, it will appear on the 1098-T for that calendar year).  Keep in mind that the amount in Box 1 may not be the amount the student may have paid, as payments cannot exceed the total QTRE reported in the calendar year.

NOTE: IRS education credits are based on amounts paid by you, not billed to you.

Reporting to the IRS depends primarily on your Social Security Number (SSN), so it is very important for you to have the correct information on file with the University. If you do not have your SSN on file with the University, please complete a W-9 form and submit it your campus's respective Office of the Registrar.
