The IRS Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 requires that eligible institutions send a 1098-T form to any student who has “qualified educational expenses” in the preceding tax year. This form is used to identify the student’s amount of qualified education expenses for tax credit purposes. Qualified expenses include tuition, and any fees that are required for enrollment, and course materials the student was required to buy from the school.
