Will loans and scholarships be included in my 1098-T?

Yes, loans and scholarships used to pay qualified tuition charges are considered in the same manner as cash payments when generating your 1098-T form.

Why didn't I receive my 1098-T in the mail?

There are three likely reasons that you did not receive your 1098-T form in the mail.

You did not take any credit-earning classes during the tax year. For example, Continuing Education students signed up for non-credit earning classes will not receive a 1098-T form. If you fall into this category, you may request a copy of your billing statement by submitting a written request to the Office of Student Accounts.
You are an international student and SVA does not mail forms to international students. However, you can obtain a copy of your courtesy 1098-T by going online at the website mentioned above in the section for International Students. Please follow all the login directions. If you DO have a social security number and need to revise your 1098-T, please see the "Revisions or Corrections" tab.
The address to where the form was mailed is no longer accurate. Your form was mailed to the home address on file with the Office of the Registrar. If you did not update this address by December 1, SVA has no way of knowing your current/correct address. It is your responsibility to keep your address updated at all times. Please see question "I need a copy of my 1098-T" in order to follow directions to obtain a copy of your form.

Why is Box 2 blank?

Prior to the tax year 2018, your 1098-T included a figure in Box 2 that represented the qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) we billed to your student account for the calendar (tax) year. Due to a change to institutional reporting requirements under federal law, beginning with the tax year 2018, we will report in Box 1 the amount of QTRE you paid during the year.

Box 2 will no longer be used.

Where can I get a 1098-T from prior years?
