Items NOT Reported on the 1098-T
The items below are NOT reported on the 1098-T. Unless noted otherwise, the IRS does not generally allow you to claim these items when calculating your allowable educational expenses and payments.
- College Opportunity Fund (COF) - Although not reported as a reduction of your tuition, you MUST consider this credit when determining your out-of-pocket educational payments.
- Student Loans - If applicable, your loan provider will issue tax statements for deductible loan interest.
- Room and Board Expenses
- Fines (ie., parking, library, late fees)
- Tuition and Fees for Non-Credit Courses
- Books - Although book charges and payments are usually tax deductible, at this time, UCCS does not post those items on student accounts. Keep invoices and receipts of those transactions in your own tax records.
Items Reported as Prior Year Adjustments
Whenever items are adjusted or revised that were reported on 1098-T forms from prior years, those items will be reported differently on the 1098-T.
- Items that are reversed will appear in the applicable prior-year boxes on the 1098-T (boxes 4 or 6).
- Items that are re-assessed will appear in the applicable reporting-year boxes on the 1098-T (boxes 2 or 5).
- Items that are revised (reversed and re-assessed) will appear in the applicable prior-year AND reporting-year boxes respectively on the 1098-T. For tuition and fees, that's boxes 2 and 4, and for scholarships and grants, that's boxes 5 and 6.
