About Tax Form 1098-T

Eligible educational institutions file Form 1098-T for each student they enroll and for whom a reportable transaction is made. MCC files this form for each individual that has made payments for qualified tuition related expenses.

Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires students to provide their correct Social Security Number (SSN)to MCC to file the 1098-T with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS uses the SSN for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your tax return. If you fail to furnish your correct SSN to MCC, you are subject to a penalty of $50.00 from the IRS. Please contact the MCC Contact Center at 31-622-5231 to provide your SSN over the phone.

To view or print a copy of your IRS 1098-T form, visit MCC Student Links, select Self Service and then on “Tax Information” to view the actual IRS form. Your browser’s print function can then be used to print the form.

If a 1098-T form is not available on Self Service, there may be several reasons that a 1098-T was not generated for a student:

  1. The student did not have tuition charges in the calendar year.
  2. The student did not have an address in their record at the time the 1098-T was generated. The student would need to update their address, and then contact Student Accounts or call 531-622-2405to request a 1098-T be generated.
  3. The student's information in Box 1 (QTRE - qualified tuition payments received) and Box 5 (financial aid, agency billing, tuition remission, etc.) were equal and netted to a zero amount.
  4. The student is an international student and did not provide MCC with an SSN. If you are an international student and have a social security number, contact Student Accounts or call 531-622-2405 to request a 1098-T be generated.

Agencies Authorizing Payments for Students at MCC

An agency that wishes to pay for tuition and/or fees, books or supplies for a certain term is required to submit and sign an Agency Authorization Form. Payment must not be dependent on the student earning a certain grade for courses taken or they drop a course. Each section of the form needs to be completed, and the document signed and dated before emailing the information to the contacts provided on the form. If you have questions about completing the form, please contact Student Accounts or call 531-622-2405 for clarification.

Designating Scholarship Dollars for Individual MCC Students

When a scholarship for an individual student is sent to MCC, it is important that the Student Accounts staff knows how the scholarship provider wants the funds to be used. A Scholarship Authorization Form should be sent along with payment to apply scholarship dollars to the student's account. The form should be signed, dated, and sent along with payment.

If payment has already been sent, you may email the completed document Student Accounts or call 531-622-2405 with any questions.
