Tax credit form will be available on myPurdue in late January.

Families filing a 2016 U.S. tax return may be eligible for educational tax credits when claiming their Purdue student as a dependent. The Bursar's Office will generate the IRS Form 1098-T that may be used by students and families to complete their 2016 tax return.

The 1098Ts will be available online by January 31 to students and "authorized users" that have been given access to the 1098T specifically. This information is provided to help individuals determine and support their eligibility for higher education tax credits. Families should consult with their tax advisor for specific information regarding eligibility, as income requirements apply.

Notation about the 1098T Form:
Purdue University reports the tuition billed to the student's account between January 1 and December 31 of the given tax year (box 2), not as to when payments are made on the account (box 1). Therefore, Box 2 will be filled in and Box 1 will be blank.

Please make sure your student has signed you up for Proxy access and Authorized User access. You will need these logins to view your student’s account and/or print invoices and 1098T’s. If you have questions about Proxy or Authorized Users, you can visit the Bursar website at www.purdue.edu/bursar send your question to askbursar@purdue.edu or give us a call at 765-494-7570.

Obtaining the IRS Form 1098-T online:

1. Students/Authorized Users obtain the 1098T form through Touch Net
STUDENT:

• Log into myPurdue
• Select the ‘Bills & Payments’ Tab
• Select ‘1098T Tax Notification’

AUTHORIZED USER:

• Log into TouchNet
• Under '1098-T Statement', click 'View' next to the year you need.

**If you do not see the '1098-T Statement' area, you most likely have not been given access to the 1098T specifically by the student, please see 2.

2. Students provide access of 1098T for Authorized User in Touch Net
STUDENT:

• Log into myPurdue
• Select the ‘Bills & Payments’ tab
• Select ‘Setup Authorized User'
• Click 'Edit' by the email address of the person you are wanting to change access for
• The second question is "Would you like to allow this person to view your 1098-T Tax statement?" This answer must be changed to "Yes" in order for the Authorized User to have access to the 1098-T (as the default to the question is "No.")

Note- President Daniels has authorized a winter recess shut down this year; the Bursar office will be closed from December 23 through January 2nd; our office will not be available to take calls or answer emails until we return on January 3rd.
