Tax Statements
1098-T Tuition Statements are sent to eligible students every year no later than January 31st, as required by law. This statement may be used to claim eligible education credits. For students who have opted-in for electronic delivery, the 1098-T statement will be available online. For students who do not opt into electronic delivery, 1098-T statements are sent via mail to all students who are eligible. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure the address on file is correct. Students may update their address on file with the University at any time via their Student Portal.
1098-T forms are for United States federal income tax return filing purposes only; forms are not sent to international students who do not request them by reporting a Social Security number (SSN) or an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Most international students are not eligible to claim education tax credits. For more information about eligibility, please review I.R.S. Publication 970 at https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-publication-970. Aspen University employees cannot assist with your specific tax questions; students should consult with a qualified tax professional if they need assistance. Students who need an international tuition statement completed should contact Student Accounts.
For tax reporting purposes, please contact the Student Accounts to change or make corrections to your name or social security number.
Students who need a 1098-T may request it by providing Student Accounts with their SSN or ITIN no later than December 24th of the tax year. In order to comply with IRS regulations, students should complete Parts I and III of IRS Form W-9S, Request for Student's or Borrower's Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, which can be found on the I.R.S. website at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9s.pdf. The student's Aspen University Learners ID should be entered under "Tuition account number" in Part III. Submission of this form with correct information will ensure that if a student is eligible for a tax credit, their form will be issued. If a student needs a 1098-T, but does not request it by providing a correct ITIN or SSN before December 24 of the tax year, their Form 1098-T will not be filed.
