WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
1098T SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

This document contains important income tax information that is being furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Form 1098T is furnished to assist you and your tax preparer in calculating any education tax credit that you may be eligible for and completing Form 8863 which attaches to your tax return.

This form reports the qualified tuition and related expenses billed to you by Western Washington University during the calendar year ended December 31. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 25A, you may claim an education tax credit for qualified tuition and related expenses actually paid during the year.

This form also reports the amount of any scholarships or grants that you have received during the year. You may not be able to claim a tax credit for the entire amount of qualified tuition and related expenses paid by you during the year as these scholarships or grants may have reduced the amount you paid.

The following situations may affect the amount of education tax credit available to you:

 
1)
 The amount of any grants and scholarships received but not administered through Western Washington University may reduce the amount of any allowable education tax credit for the taxable year.
 
2)
 The amount of any reductions in charges for qualified tuition and related expenses, or any reduction in the amount of scholarships or grants, reported by Western Washington University to you may affect the amount of any allowable education tax credit for the prior calendar year.
 
3)
 Any reimbursements or refunds of qualified tuition and related expenses reported by an insurer may reduce the amount of an allowable education tax credit for a taxable year.

For questions on the amounts shown on Form 1098-T, call Student Accounts at
(360) 650-2865. For explanations relating to the eligibility requirements for, and calculation of, any allowable education tax credit, consult with your tax advisor.
