| I did not receive a 1098-T form. Why? |
| Answer / Solution |
|
- Sinclair Community College was not required to send you a form.
- Sinclair is only required to send 1098-T forms to students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are greater than the students’ scholarships and grants (Please refer to IRS Instructions for Forms 1098-E and 1098-T page 2 under exceptions). As an example:
- Student A has payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses of $1800 (Box1) and scholarship and grants of $2350 (Box 5) for calendar year 2018. Student A will not be mailed a 1098T form from Sinclair. However, this information can be viewed through your Sinclair student account.
- Student B has payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses of $3,360 (Box 1) and scholarships and grants of $1,810 (Box 5) for calendar year 2018. Student B will receive a 1098-T form from Sinclair.
- The address Sinclair has on record is not your current address.
- You do not have a valid social security number or are a non-resident alien.
- If you do not have a valid social security number, a 1098-T form may not have been issued. Please update your social security number by completing a W-9S form which you can access from the IRS website - Form W-9S and bring this completed form and your Social Security card to The Welcome Center or by completing the online change SSN form and sending it electronically. After your SSN has been updated, you may request a new 1098-T form from the Bursar Office.
- If you are a non-resident alien who does not have a social security number, you can still request a 1098-T form from the Bursar Office.
- Other reasons you may not have received a 1098-T form:
- Your entire qualified tuition and related expenses were paid under a “formal billing arrangement” where Sinclair billed an employer or government/agency entity.
- You are considered a nonresident alien.
- You were only enrolled in noncredit courses.
