When determining your eligibility for education related tax credits and deductions, you will need to report the amount you paid for qualified education and related expenses. Your Account Detail for Term in the Student Information System is the best and most accurate source of information for amounts paid for qualified education and related expenses. This is true regardless of whether you receive a Form 1098-T or not.
