<p>My school sent me an email saying that they will not send me a 1098-T form. What do I do? Is there another place I can get it? Or do I even need to file it?</p>
<p>Was the amount of your scholarships/grants more than the amount of tuition, mandatory fees and required books and supplies in 2012? Schools aren’t required to send a 1098T if that’s the case. Note that room and board expenses aren’t included.</p>
<p>If that is the case, some of your scholarships/grants are likely taxable. Whether you will have to actually pay tax depends on the amount of taxable scholarships/grants and the amount of your other income from jobs/interest etc. You will have to look at your school account or bills to determine how much was billed to your account in 2012 and how much in scholarships/grants were credited to your account in 2012.</p>
<p>Re-read that email. Your 1098-T may be available online.</p>
<p>The school HAS to make a 1098-T available to all U.S. citizens and permanent residents (except in the case noted by annoyingdad). My guess is that happymom is correct in thinking it might be available online, rather than being sent through the mail.</p>
