Tax Resources for Students
Hope Scholarship & Lifetime Learning Tax Credits
The Office of Cashier's and Student Accounts is responsible for reporting all students' tuition billing charges, all grants, scholarships, attendance, and graduate status at PSU to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In January, the Office of Cashier's and Student Accounts will mail a 1098-T (Tuition Payment Statement) form to all students who attended PSU during the previous calendar year. The Tuition Payment Statement will also include a brief summary of the charges and credits to the student's tuition account during the calendar year for assisting taxpayers in determining the amount of tax credit available. The Tuition Payment Statement will be mailed to the student's permanent address that is on file in January. Students may also access this information via the web using GUS.
Pittsburg State University will not give individual tax advice. Please consult with a tax professional regarding any potential tax benefits.
