Tax Notification (1098-T)

Eligible educational institutions file Form 1098-T for all enrolled students who have reportable transactions. The information below provides more detail about 1098-T statements for Delaware Tech students.

Important Notice Regarding Changes to the 1098-T Reporting Method for 2018
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has mandated a reporting change affecting IRS Form 1098-T. Starting with tax year 2018, we are required to report Payments Received for Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses. This is recorded in Box 1 of the 1098-T form and is a significant change to the prior year reporting method. We no longer report the Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses previously recorded in Box 2. We continue to report Prior Year Adjustments (Box 4), Grants and Scholarships (Box 5) and Adjustments to Grants and Scholarships for a Prior Year (Box 6).

Please be aware that the purpose of the 1098-T is to support any claim for educational credit. The amount reported in Box 1 is for informational purposes and might be different than the amount you actually paid or are deemed to have paid. To learn more, see IRS Publication 970 – Tax Benefits for Education, or consult your tax professional.

Instructions for accessing 1098-T information on line:

  1. Logon to MyDTCC at my.dtcc.edu
  2. Access the Student Information System
  3. Under Student Records, select 1098-T Tax Document

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is included in Box 1 of the 1098-T form?

We included all qualified tuition and fee payments received in 2018 that were charged to your account from January 1 – December 31, 2018.

Qualified tuition and fee payments include:

  • Individual cash, check and credit card payments
  • Payments from 529 and other investment accounts
  • Payments from 3rd parties sponsors such as employers, the VA, or Department of Labor
  • Student loans
  • Grants and scholarships

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2018: Spring 2018 charges that were charged to your account prior to January 1, 2018, were included on your 2017 1098-T; therefore, payments for those charges made in 2018 are not included on your 2018 1098-T.


Q: I did not receive a 1098-T. Why?

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.


Q: My records indicate I paid more in 2018 than what is appearing in Box 1. Why?

Payments reported in Box 1 cannot exceed the total qualified charges reported in 2018. Payments made for charges that were posted to your account prior to January 1, 2018, are not included on the 2018 1098-T.


Q: Can I get a corrected form?

It is important to note that the purpose of the 1098-T is to support any claim for educational credit. The amount reported in Box 1 is for informational purposes and might be different than the amount you actually paid or are deemed to have paid. If you feel there is a discrepancy, file your IRS forms with the information you determine to be correct. Utilize the Student Information System to access your Account Detail for Term.


Q: What should I do if I can no longer access the Student Information System?

p>If you have graduated or are no longer attending Delaware Tech, you may also access your 1098-T through the TRA portal.

Q: How do I get the deduction on my income tax?

The College is not able to give tax preparation advice. Please see IRS Form 8863 instructions and Publication 970, or consult your tax preparer.
