Will I Receive a 1098-T?
The TeacherReady® program is not eligible for a 1098-T forms because it is a non-credit continuing education program. We do not collect social security numbers, and payments are not reported by individual students to the IRS. We advise all students to consult a tax advisor before listing any payments on their tax return. Students have listed the information on their tax returns previously, and they were audited for ineligible items.
UWF does not provide 1098-T Forms to student’s who are 1) not enrolled at UWF for for-credit courses and 2) for UWF student’s without a UWF ID#. Please visit http://uwf.edu/offices/financial-services/student-financial-services/student-accounts-cashiers/ for UWF’s information and explanation of the 1098-T Form.
Also, please visit https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1098et/ar02.html#d0e248 for the 1098-T Form IRS instructions. Per the Internal Revenue Service, we are not required to file or furnish the 1098-T Form for the following circumstances:
